Jess' Cheesy Chicken is what I have decided to name my chicken creation that I posted the recipe for a few posts back. Tonight I unleashed my culinary genius again and created "Jess' Chicken Rolls." Yeah... I know it isn't very original, but I have never been one for creative writing. So prepare yourself for a quick and easy, BENTO FRIENDLY, delicious recipe from my kitchen to yers.
1 pkg. of spring roll wrappers (I only used 10 from the 20 count pkg.)
1 large can of chunk chicken (I used wal*mart brand)
6-8 baby carrots (chopped)
1/2 of a large cucumber or 1 whole small cucumber (chopped)
*spices to taste.... (personal preference)... I used
salt & pepper
basil
onion salt
garlic salt
paprika
and a little tobasco - because my Mother in Law was right that a little tobasco makes everything taste better
-while you are mixing your ingredients, have some oil warming in a skillet
-mix everything together - except for the wrappers of course
-spoon a decent amount of your mixture onto the wrappers and roll up according to instructions or however you please... just be sure that one corner is tucked under while frying so that it keeps that 'egg-roll' shape
-the ingredients makes 10 good sized rolls
-turn the oil you are warming up to medium
-place as your rolls in the oil and pan fry for approx. 2 minutes on each side.
-if you want a more brown roll, add 30 seconds to 1 minute to your cook time
-place on a paper towel to drain the grease while cooling
-ENJOY!
These are good even when cold - goes well with mustard or sweet and sour sauce - try it with whatever your favorite sauce is or add your own spin to the recipe and let me know about it!
I thought of this off the top of my head and am pleased as punch that it turned out so well. Hubby is über excited to try this in his bento tomorrow.
Keep up the good work.
