What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup coleslaw mix shredded cabbage and carrots
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 12 count spring roll wrappers
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing
- 0.5 cup sweet chili dipping sauce mild
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Combine shredded chicken and coleslaw mix in a bowl and toss with soy sauce until everything is evenly coated.
Step 2: Roll the Spring Rolls
Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape and spoon 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner up, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
Step 3: Brush and Bake
Place spring rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
Step 4: Serve with Dipping Sauce
Let the spring rolls cool for 3 minutes then arrange on a plate with mild sweet chili dipping sauce on the side for kids to enjoy.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- shredded chicken → cream cheese and shredded carrots for a vegetarian filling
- spring roll wrappers → egg roll wrappers which are thicker and easier for beginners to roll
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overfilling the wrappers which causes them to burst open during baking
- Not brushing with oil before baking which results in pale and chewy wrappers instead of crispy ones
