Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Cook chicken breasts: Place chicken in a pot, cover with water or chicken broth, and simmer until cooked through. Drain and shred with two forks.
  • In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese and hot sauce until smooth. Stir in the shredded chicken, blue cheese, carrots, and scallions. Mix well.
  • Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond). Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper.
  • Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Then, fold in the left and right corners towards the center.
  • Roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom towards the top to form a cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 370°F (185°C). Lightly spray all sides of the egg rolls with olive oil spray.
  • Oven Method: Place egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Air Fryer Method: In batches, air fry for 8-9 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.

Notes

These egg rolls can be assembled ahead of time and frozen for a quick snack or appetizer. To freeze, place uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
