Southwest Chicken Tortilla Pinwheels

I absolutely love it when I have reason to make/cook food!

Last night I had to make something for Hubby's Potluck.

This has been on one of my want to make list.

So glad I got to make it. I thought It was hard. 

You just really have to make it ahead of time.

I had to double this Recipe so it will be enough for the potluck and for us. 

You can use Rotisserie chicken, But if you don't want to. 

You can make your own. 

Place a couple of Tbsp. of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season 2 large boneless,skinless chicken breasts with some seasoning salt and pepper.

Add it to the skillet and cook just long enough to get a good sear. About 3 minutes per side.

Lower heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of chicken broth. Cover skillet and let the chicken simmer for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and tender enough to shred.

Remove from heat and let cool.

Then, to shred it.

I have found the easiest way to do it.

Yup, mixer!

I used my Hand mixer, But I bet you can use any mixer and it was way way easier than using your hand or fork.
