Barbecue Chicken Pinwheel Attempt (Bacon Ranch Chicken Roll-Ups)
Seasoned chicken breast gets sliced and rolled up with a cheese-and-bacon filling for a fast weeknight dinner between school and sports practice. It's a loose, improvised take that still gets everyone fed on time.
Ingredients
- —chicken breast · store-bought, patted dry and trimmed
- a splasholive oil
- —all-purpose seasoning
- —shredded cheese
- —bacon
- —salt · for the cheese mixture
- —bread · flattened
- —spread
Steps
- 1
Pat the chicken dry and trim off any unwanted bits.
- 2
Drizzle the chicken with a splash of olive oil and season all over with all-purpose seasoning, sliding the chicken through the oil left on the board to coat it.
- 3
Butterfly and unroll the chicken so it lies flat.
- 4
In a bowl, stir together the shredded cheese, bacon, and a pinch of salt.
- 5
Spoon the cheese and bacon mixture onto the chicken and roll it up.
- 6
Cook the chicken through, checking that no pink remains; if you're unsure, return it to the heat until it's fully cooked.
- 7
Flatten the bread, spread it with the spread, and lay it over the top.
- 8
Press everything together so the cheese melts, then slice and serve.
Creator's notes
Matthew (Jessica's husband) took over the kitchen and adapted the chicken seasoning from Jessica's chicken bacon ranch sandwiches in her cookbook. His own verdict: it started as Jessica's recipe and quickly devolved into whatever this mess is — but the kids ate and made it to sports on time.
