My first food blog post! Are you ready? I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought I would give it a go. But instead of just trying to recreate the dish, I thought I would document my efforts and create my own picture book of deliciousness. So here goes everything!
BBQ Chicken Rolls
1 pkg. egg roll wrappers (found in produce section next to hummus or tofu)
1 lb. cooked, shredded chicken
bag of broccoli slaw or coleslaw mix
1 bag shredded cheddar cheese
1 bottle BBQ sauce
Cooking oil spray
The easiest way to cook the chicken is to throw it in the crock pot in the morning, fill the pot with just enough water to cover the chicken, and cook on low for at least 4 hours. At the end of the day, you can take the chicken out and it will fall apart when you shred it. Use two forks and pull apart to shred.
After the chicken is shredded, place it in a bowl with just enough BBQ sauce to cover it. You don't want it sopping with sauce, but you want enough to keep it moist. Mix the two together.
Place the egg roll wrappers on a flat, clean surface. Take a small handful of slaw mix and place in one corner of each wrapper.
Then, simply layer the rest of the ingredients in this order: slaw, BBQ chicken, shredded cheese. You don't want the ingredients piled too high. The wrapper will rip if it is too full.
Next, you roll! Take the corner closest to the ingredients and fold on the center. Then fold the two sides in until the corners touch in the center. Next, roll over once so that you are forming what looks like an envelope. With the top flap that is still exposed, brush a small amount of water on the tip and then fold toward you to "seal the envelope." The water will help the wrapper stick to itself. The following pictures show the steps.
Next, place the sealed rolls into a baking rack that has been sprayed with cooking oil. (I used a cookie drying rack on top of a baking sheet.)
After the rolls have been lined along the baking rack, spray them with cooking oil. This will allow them to brown and crisp up nicely.
Then place them in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until the rolls start to brown up.
And then, enjoy!!! You can serve them with ranch, blue cheese, or even more BBQ sauce. They are so easy to make and very yummy. They may excellent leftovers as well.
