Here’s a delicious Low-Carb Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels recipe that’s perfect for a quick, flavorful, and low-carb meal or snack!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (preferably sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 2 large low-carb tortillas (such as those made with almond flour or coconut flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: If you don’t already have cooked chicken, you can quickly cook and shred some chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined and creamy.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay your low-carb tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the two tortillas and spread it out in an even layer across the surface of each tortilla.
- Roll Up the Pinwheels: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the chicken mixture, making sure it stays compact and the filling doesn’t spill out.
- Slice the Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into about 1-inch wide pinwheels.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving plate, and if desired, garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.
- Optional: You can refrigerate the pinwheels for about 30 minutes before slicing to make them easier to cut.
Tips:
- Tortilla Choices: Look for low-carb tortillas (almond flour, coconut flour, or cauliflower-based) at your local store, or make your own at home.
- Flavor Variations: You can add other ingredients to the filling, like diced green onions, jalapeños, or bell peppers, to customize the flavor.
- Make-Ahead: These pinwheels are perfect for meal prep or a quick snack. You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
These Low-Carb Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels are a great combination of creamy, savory, and crunchy—perfect for a keto snack, appetizer, or even a light meal! Enjoy!
