Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 1 bag Asian salad mix
Chicken
- 1 pound chicken tenders (cooked or rotisserie chicken can also be used)
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
Egg Roll Base
- 4 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying or baking the egg roll wrappers (or cooking spray for baking/air frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg roll wrappers: Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350℉, ensuring enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Alternatively, lightly spray or brush oil on both sides of each egg roll wrapper if baking or air frying.
- Cook the egg roll wrappers: Place each wrapper carefully into the heated oil and fry for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until golden and crispy. If baking or air-frying, cook them until crisp, approximately 5-7 minutes at 350℉, flipping halfway through.
- Prepare the salad: Place the Asian salad mix into a bowl or bag and toss gently with the included dressing or ingredients provided in the salad bag.
- Coat the chicken: Toss the cooked chicken tenders in sweet chili sauce using about 2 tablespoons per 2 tenders or per serving. Adjust the amount of sauce to taste or alternatively drizzle it over the chicken instead of coating.
- Assemble the salad on the egg roll base: Place a crispy egg roll wrapper on a plate, top with a portion of the Asian salad, then add the sweet chili chicken tenders on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and flavors.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken or any pre-cooked chicken to save prep time.
- To make the egg roll wrappers healthier, bake or air fry them instead of frying.
- If baking, preheat your oven to 350℉ and bake the wrappers for about 5-7 minutes per side until crisp.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce according to your preference for spice and sweetness.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the egg roll wrapper base.
