Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels

To make Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels healthier, consider using whole wheat pizza dough instead of regular dough. You can also substitute the shredded mozzarella cheese with a lower-fat cheese option or reduce the amount of cheese used. Additionally, using grilled chicken instead of fried can help lower the calorie count.

If you don't have buffalo sauce, you can use hot sauce mixed with a bit of melted butter for a similar flavor. For a milder version, try using barbecue sauce instead. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, use a dairy-free cheese alternative and skip the blue cheese dressing.

To store leftover Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be stored for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them by wrapping each pinwheel tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with celery sticks and carrot sticks for a classic touch. You can also offer a selection of dips like ranch or blue cheese dressing, and some crunchy snacks like tortilla chips or a fresh garden salad to balance the spice.

To make Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels, start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Roll out pizza dough, spread the chicken mixture, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and roll it up. Slice into pinwheels, bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, and serve warm with chives and blue cheese dressing.
