Chicken, Spinach Artichoke Pinwheels - Wheat Ale


This week has been a tough one for me not cooking and obviously not posting.  I have been sick yet again.  This was a really easy recipe I made with left over spinach artichoke dip from my previous post.

Chicken, Spinach Artichoke Pinwheels
Weight Watchers Points – 4 points
Servings - 4

2 chicken breasts
4T leftover spinach artichoke dip
salt & pepper

1.      Preheat oven to 400
2.      Butterfly and pound chicken breasts out to about ¼ of an inch
3.      Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper
4.      Place 2T of spinach artichoke dip ontop side of each breast
5.      Roll chicken breast up and secure with toothpicks or string
6.      Bake chicken for about 25-30 minutes
7.      Slice chicken into slices creating pinwheels, can be secured with toothpicks if using as an appetizer

When I made this for dinner for me and mike, I served with sweet potato fries and it was a full, easy and delicious dinner.

A new favorite summer time beer of mine is Rahr & Sons Summertime Wheat Ale.  This also has a sweet spice in the background of cloves, which I love!  This is also a local beer being brewed in Fort Worth which we love to support.  We plan to tour that brewery when its not so hot anymore so if you want to join us, let us know.  It does have a pretty strong wheat and grain flavor to it, but then again its called a Wheal Ale.  The spice and the sweet citrus background adds a great contrast.  It’s a little expensive in liquor stores, so look for it on sale.
