I always get excited about making buffalo chicken egg rolls because they’re just so delicious that I just can’t stop eating them! It’s hard to think of what dish to prepare everyday so I try to be as creative as possible with what I have in my fridge and pantry. So when I saw some chicken breasts, a pack of egg roll wrappers, and some vegetables in my refrigerator, making delicious chicken egg rolls is what I came up with. It’s probably one of the best dishes I made!
I have two methods of cooking and tenderizing the chicken. I either slow cook it or use an instant pot. Although buying cooked rotisserie chicken is also an option if I want to save time. I like dishes with a spicy kick, so I’m adding a bit of hot sauce in my egg roll filling. You can totally use your favorite buffalo sauce for an upgrade of flavors.
Let me just say that this is a really filling meal because you have chicken, vegetables, and cheese inside each buffalo chicken roll. I used blue cheese but you can also use feta. I strayed away from deep frying them to lessen the use of oil and pop them in the oven instead. Don’t worry because these chicken egg rolls will still come out as crispy as you want them to be.
I promise you that these crunchy rolls have a complex combination of flavors in every bite. It is perfectly savory, spicy, and tangy because of the hot sauce and cream cheese mixture. It also has a distinct sharpness because of the blue cheese. It’s typically paired with creamy ranch dressing but serving chicken egg roll with an extra flavorful blue cheese dressing is definitely an upgrade.
