Jammy Chicken Picnic Pops
These picnic-perfect pinwheels are the a bite-sized delight! Thin strips of marinated chicken breasts are wrapped up with crisp cucumber, and skewered for easy snacking. Served over a bed of peppery arugula with a zesty dipping sauce on the side, they’re as fun to eat as they are to share — ready to go and full of sunshine and smiles. Featured in this recipe: US Wellness Meats chicken breasts and Profanity Jam’s Pineapple Habanero Jam–a winner combo! I've added some sliced marinated pineapple from my Passion Picnic Fruit Skewers as well as a fun mango rose, but serve with your fav!

- Mix up the marinade by whisking all ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined, reserve 3-4 tablespoons to use after cooking.
- Place sliced chicken in a non reactive container or bag, pour remaining marinade over the chicken and place in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 4-6 hours, optimally overnight.
- Prepare the cool lime dipping sauce by combining the pineapple juice, honey and lime juice/zest–whisking well to combine. Add ½ cup of the yogurt and pinch of salt, taste and adjust consistency with more yogurt and salt as desired. Chill until ready to use.
- When ready to assemble, remove chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to temperature for about 30 minutes. Place chicken (discard marinade) on a baking rack inside a foil lined baking sheet and broil (about 6-8” from the heat) until cooked through. Remove and spoon/brush chicken with a couple teaspoons of the reserved marinade, while still warm, let cool while you prep for the pinwheels.
- Gather cucumbers, arugula, cabbage and fruit as desired, as well as garnishes.
- Once chicken has cooled, at a slight angle, slice in very thin cuts–the thinner the better so they will roll up easily into pinwheels.
- Time to assemble! Place arugula and cabbage in the base of a to-go container(s) and add a pinch of salt to those greens. Depending on the size of those containers, you could have 3 or 4 containers to fill.
- For pinwheels, lay a slice of cucumber down on a flat surface, layer with chicken slices, then roll up from one end to the other, sliding it onto the skewer. Repeat with cukes and chicken, placing skewers in groups of 3-5, depending on skewer size, then into individual containers.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds, cilantro and green onions as desired and drizzle the reserved marinade over the top, serve lime dipping sauce on the side in a small container if desired or bring to serve alongside.
Notes
You could certainly plate all the skewers on a large platter if serving family style, simply arrange the arugula/cabbage combo on the platter, add the skewers, fruit (if using) then drizzle with the remaining reserved sauce and dipping sauce on the side.
