  1. Would cook it a little less-the chicken was dry
     
  2. These pinwheels were so delicious! Good thing I did not know how delicious or they would have been devoured before the chilled stage. I prepared these exactly as the recipe instructed. I did learn as I proceeded, that they roll better by slicing the pepper into thin strips and laying the strips vertically across the chicken breast. Also, it is possible to put too much "filling" onto each chicken breast and this will make it difficult to roll. However, in spite of my learning as I went, they turned out wonderfully. I think they would be great as make ahead hors d'oeuvres for a party or any event where you serve finger food! Prepared in participation with Recipe Tag! Lorac, thanks for a winner!
