1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your pinwheels bake to golden-brown perfection.

2. Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the filling is well-blended.

3. Prepare the Dough

Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and pinch the seams together to form a solid rectangle. This will create a seamless canvas for your delectable filling.

4. Spread the Filling

Carefully spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Be sure to distribute the filling all the way to the corners for maximum flavor in every bite.

5. Roll and Cut

Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal pinwheels.

6. Arrange and Brush

Place the pinwheels, cut-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish.

7. Bake to Perfection

Pop the pinwheels in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t over-bake.

8. Serve and Enjoy

Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving warm. Get ready for the oohs and aahs as your guests take their first bite of these cheesy, garlicky wonders!
