Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Oven
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Egg Roll Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Medium Onion diced
  • ¼ Cup Hot Sauce
  • 16 Egg Roll Wrappers
  • ½ Cup Celery diced
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 Egg for egg wash
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese shredded

Seasonings for Chicken

  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Chicken - Preheat oven to 375°F. Season chicken with seasonings. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the seared chicken to the oven and bake for about 9 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes, then dice or shred into small pieces.
  • Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling - In a skillet, sauté chopped onion in a neutral oil (avocado oil works great) until soft and translucent.
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl and add diced chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, diced celery, sautéed onions, and hot sauce.
  • Stir until everything is creamy and evenly combined.
  • Fill and Roll the Egg Rolls (see blog for “How to Roll Egg Rolls”)
  • Finish the Dish - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F and place the egg rolls in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with oil for extra crispiness. Air fry for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
