I am always looking for new things to put in my kids’ lunchboxes. Yes, I am that person that wants to make something different just so I have something fun to take a picture of for my Instagram story.

But I’m also not the mom that’s going to make hearts out of sliced carrots and all the cutesy stuff. My kids wouldn’t allow it. Also, I have zero artistic skills for things like that.

So I like to do things like these Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels. They’re a change from the usual PB&J but they’re still quick and easy and my kids love them. Plus, I can make them the night before and just toss them into their lunchbox containers in the morning before school.

Can You Make Chicken Pinwheels Ahead?

Yes! These pinwheels need to be made at least an hour ahead but you can make them the night before if you need to. They are perfect for packing into lunchboxes in the morning if they’re ahead made and ready to go!

How Long Are They Good For?

These Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels will be good for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. The flour tortillas hold up really well and they don’t get soggy or anything.

What To Serve With Chicken Pinwheels?

They’re great served with baby carrots and sliced celery – maybe even use the rest of the dry ranch season pack to make a quick dip for the veggies. Chips or fruit salad are also great sides for this.

You could even do a cold veggie salad like Broccoli Salad or Fritos Corn Salad.
