Description
These Chicken Spring Rolls are a delicious Asian-inspired appetizer filled with a flavorful mixture of chicken, vegetables, and aromatic seasonings, wrapped in a crispy shell. They can be fried to a golden crispness or baked for a healthier alternative.
Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely chopped)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- ½ cup thinly sliced bell pepper
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
For assembling:
- 8 spring roll wrappers (or rice paper wrappers)
- vegetable oil for frying or baking spray if baking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- If using traditional spring roll wrappers, place one wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- To fry: Heat about 1–2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry spring rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place spring rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray or brush with oil and bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or peanut dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- These can also be made with rice paper wrappers for a fresh (unfried) version.
- Add rice noodles for a more filling roll, or switch up veggies based on what you have.
