How to Make Crack Chicken Pizza Rolls

These pinwheels are very easy to make with only 6 simple ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, cheddar cheese, chopped chicken, and crumbled bacon. Unroll a can of pizza dough and press it into a rectangle. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the dough. Starting with the long side, roll the dough up like cinnamon rolls. Pinch the seams together to seal. Place the dough on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife or serrated knife, slice the dough into 16 rounds and place them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pizza dough and chicken mixture. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Sprinkle baked rolls with parsley.
