Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 pound Chicken Breast
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • 2 ounce Cream Cheese (melted)
  • 1/4 cup Hot Sauce (such as Frank’s)
  • 2 ounce Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
  • 8 pcs Egg Roll Wrappers

Equipment

  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Large Microwave Bowl
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Using a medium sized skillet, heat oil on medium heat, then add chicken.  Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  2. While chicken is cooking, melt cream cheese in large microwave bowl.  Whisk in hot sauce to blend.  Set aside.  Once chicken is done, transfer to a cutting board to shred or cut into small pieces.  Add to sauce and stir to thoroughly coat.
  3. Place eggroll wrapper diagonal on a flat surface or parchment paper for easy clean up.  Place about ¼ chicken at the bottom of wrapper.  Top with a sprinkle of cheese (about 1 tablespoon).  Fold point up over chicken.  Fold in sides, then roll to the end.  (Seam side should be down.)
  4. Place egg rolls into the air fryer basket seam side down.  Spray or brush with oil if desired (optional).  Cook at 260 degrees for 6 minutes.  Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.  Eggroll should be crispy on all sides.
  5. Remove and serve with Ranch or blue cheese dressing, carrots, and celery.  Garnish with cilantro (optional).
