Sweet, savory, and super simple! Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad Pinwheels are the perfect party food or luscious light lunch!
Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad Pinwheels are a tantalizing twist on the classic chicken salad sandwich. Shredded chicken, craisins and cream cheese with crunchy pecans and chopped celery are thinly spread onto soft flour tortillas to make this the absolute best chicken salad recipe ever!
Everything about this Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad is amazing! This recipe has all the best flavors and just the right balance of creamy and crunchy.
But if you have different preferences, this recipe is easy to alter! Walnuts or toasted almonds can substitute for the pecans. Greek mayo can replace half the mayo. Celery is optional. Other seasonings like curry, tarragon, or fresh dill can change the taste. And, of course, red grapes or apples can replace the subtle sweetness of the dried cranberries.
These chicken roll ups are also GORGEOUS. The green chives and celery contrast the berry red craisins. And once they are rolled up and sliced into spiral pinwheels, their presentation on a party platter is unparalleled!
