How to Make It
🍳 In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula
🧄 Add garlic, ginger, green onions, and cook for another minute
🥬 Stir in the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then let the filling cool slightly
🥟 Lay out an egg roll wrapper. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near one corner. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Seal the edges with a little water
🔥 Place egg rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray or brush the tops with cooking spray or olive oil
🍽️ Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy
Optional Add-Ins & Variations
🌶️ Add a little sriracha or chili flakes for heat
🥬 Use shredded spinach or kale in place of coleslaw mix
🧀 Sprinkle in a little shredded cheese for a fusion twist
🥕 Include extra shredded carrots for sweetness
🍚 Serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice for a full meal
Tips for the Best Baked Egg Rolls
✔ Don’t overfill the wrappers or they’ll be hard to roll and may burst
✔ Bake on a wire rack over the baking sheet for maximum crispiness
✔ Brush or spray lightly with oil to get that golden finish
✔ Let them cool slightly before eating—the filling will be hot!
Storage
📦 Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
