Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie recommended)

3 cups tri-color coleslaw mix (green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots)

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

For assembling:

10–12 egg roll wrappers

Small bowl of water (for sealing)

For frying:

Vegetable oil, enough to fill skillet about ¾ inch deep

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling:

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add 3 cups of tri-color coleslaw mix and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until slightly tender.

  • Stir in 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken.

  • Season with salt and pepper, cooking for another 2–3 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly before wrapping.

2. Assemble the egg rolls:

  • Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape on a flat surface.

  • Place about ¼ to ⅓ cup of filling horizontally across the center.

  • Fold the bottom corner up over the filling.

  • Fold in both sides, then roll up tightly.

  • Seal the top edge with a dab of water to close securely.

  • Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the egg rolls:

  • Heat about ¾ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F–375°F.

  • Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time for 2–3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown.

  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

  • Repeat with remaining egg rolls.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wrappers—it makes rolling and sealing harder.

  • Cool the filling before wrapping to prevent sogginess.

  • Use gluten-free or low-carb wrappers for dietary adaptations.

  • These egg rolls freeze beautifully before or after frying—perfect for meal prep!

  • Swap chicken for tofu, mushrooms, or turkey bacon for different flavors.
