Mother’s Day’s is just around the corner and I’m not sure there is a better way to celebrate than with a tasty appetizer recipe and a Kitchen Aid mixer giveaway! These no-fuss pinwheels would be a tasty addition to your Mother’s Day brunch table and a shiny, new stand mixer would delightful addition to any kitchen gadget collection! If you enter and win, this classic Kitchen Aid mixer would be an amazing gift for your mom… or you could just keep it for yourself!
Be sure to check out the giveaway rules and the entry widget below, there will be several ways for you to gain more chances to win!
These five-ingredient pinwheels are simply made with store-bought puff pastry, sun-dried tomato pesto, ricotta cheese, Kalamata olives and chicken. When I made these pinwheels, I had just a handful of leftover chicken in my fridge that needed to be re-purposed, but a small amount of rotisserie-style chicken purchased from a store deli would be convenient and perfect to use for these too. Or, if you prefer to keep these vegetarian, just leave the chicken out completely.
The flavorful combination of sun-dried tomato pesto, ricotta cheese, olives and chicken is one of my favorite fillings for these dainty pinwheel appetizers. However, if these Mediterranean-style fixin’s aren’t your thing, there are endless possibilities to make them your own way using both savory or sweet ingredients. Appetizers like these are truly a cinch to prepare and they can be a perfect menu addition for party or holiday snack table spread, no matter the occasion!

Marcelle, pinwheels are indeed a great way to try out some wonderful flavor combinations – I love that you used creamy ricotta, cooked chicken, pesto and olives here – all elements for a wonderful savory treat!
A very Happy Mother's Day my friend!

Hi there, John! Thank you 🙂
Puff pastry is awesome stuff, isn't it? Usually have some in the freezer so I can whip up goodies like this! Wonderful looking dish — thanks.
Hi there, Amy! Thank you! 🙂
Pinwheels are also such a fun appetizer or snack and I like the flavor combination you used here!
Wow, Marcelle, this recipe gives me sooooo many ideas! What a great appetizer. Thanks! Should I win the mixer, I want to find the perfect person to whom it should go. I’m thinking a young, single mom (or dad) who loves to cook for her/his children but would never have the money to splurge on this beautiful mixer. I know how much I love mine!
Hi Angie! Thank you so much! 🙂
I always love pinwheels! The savoury filling sounds amazing.
