the pinwheels were a big hit at our community get together. the other reviews were very helpful. i used a boneless breast(3/4 cup)that i seasoned before cooking so i didn't add any salt. after making the rolls i froze them to make the cutting easier and to produce more pinwheel-like product. i used all of the cream cheese(8 oz)and chopped celery leaves(can't stand cilantro)and green chiles (did not have jalapenos) when i make them again i will use non-stick foil because they stuck to the pan whether i greased it or not the left over mixture is great on crackers

Loved! We have also placed the filling in a crescent and baked for dinner. :)

Found this recipe when searching for something to make for a ladies wine night with ingredients I had on hand. They were a big hit. My son snuck a few and loved them, too. He now wants the recipe! I used a can of chicken breast, a whole package of fat free cream cheese, low fat crescent rolls, and a jalapenos from a jar of diced jalapenos. You can't get much easier (or slimmer) than that. This made a little more filling than needed, so served the remainder cold with crackers the next day. It was great as well.

This was a big hit with my whole family, and my husband wants me to make them again tomorrow night. I was looking for something super easy yet delicious, and this recipe did not disappoint! We like very spice food, and 3 tbsp of Hot Jalapeno's added the perfect amount of spice. I also used the whole block of cream cheese (as suggested in a previous review) which turned out wonderfully.
