A quick and easy recipe for crispy baked egg rolls filled with shredded chicken and melty cheese, perfect for snacks, parties, or casual dinners without the mess of frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Egg roll wrappers (thin, square)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 8 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 3.5 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Olive oil or avocado oil for brushing
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix shredded cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
  4. Add about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you, leaving about 1 inch from the edges.
  5. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold the left and right corners in towards the center to form an envelope.
  6. Roll tightly towards the top corner, sealing the edge with a dab of water to keep it closed.
  7. Place the wrapped egg rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush each wrapper lightly with olive oil or avocado oil to help it crisp up.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through to get even browning. They should be golden and crispy, with the cheese bubbling inside.
  10. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid molten cheese burns.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during baking. Brush wrappers lightly with oil for best crispness. Flip halfway through baking for even browning. Use gluten-free or rice paper wrappers for gluten-free option. Substitute cream cheese and shredded cheese with plant-based alternatives for dairy-free version. Reheat in oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving.
