How to make BBQ chicken egg rolls
Prep the Ingredients: Chop the bell pepper and onion, and shred the cooked chicken and cheese. If you’re starting with raw chicken, cook and shred it before assembling the egg rolls. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
STEP 1: Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped peppers and onions and sauté until tender, about 4–5 minutes.
STEP 2: Toss the shredded chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce in a bowl. Add it to the skillet with the vegetables and stir until heated through.
STEP 3: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center. Top it with 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture.
STEP 4: Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Seal the edges with a little water to keep it closed.
STEP 5: Place the egg rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Lightly brush the tops with oil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Tips
- Seal them tightly – Use your finger or a small brush dipped in water to seal the edges of each wrapper.
- Don’t overfill – Stick to about 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons of filling per roll.
- Short cut tip – Use a rotisserie chicken.
Serving suggestions
