Ingredients
Scale
Egg Rolls
- 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 20-22 square egg roll wrappers
- Olive oil for brushing
Cilantro Lime Ranch
- 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- juice from 2 limes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly grease two baking sheets to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, plain Greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, fresh chives, dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled blue cheese until evenly mixed.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Place 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling onto each egg roll wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal. Roll the wrappers tightly and place them seam-side down on the greased baking sheets. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil to help them crisp during baking.
- Bake Egg Rolls: Bake the egg rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Flip them carefully and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Make Cilantro Lime Ranch: While the egg rolls bake, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, and lime juice in a jar or bowl. Shake or stir well until the ranch sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Serve the warm buffalo chicken egg rolls with the cilantro lime ranch dipping sauce and additional buffalo sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add extra buffalo sauce to the filling.
- You can substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter ranch sauce.
- Brushing the egg rolls with olive oil helps achieve a golden, crispy texture without frying.
- Make sure not to overfill the egg roll wrappers to avoid tearing during rolling.
- If you prefer, these egg rolls can be air fried at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
