Ingredients

  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 cups water plus more, to taste
  • 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 (24-28-count) package spring roll wrappers thawed
  • neutral-flavored oil to taste
  • sweet chili sauce optional, to taste, store-bought or homemade, for serving

Directions

  • In a bowl, add the coleslaw mix, the green onions, the soy sauce, and the sesame oil and stir to combine. Allow the cole slaw mixture to stand until ready to use.
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring 4 cups of the water to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain the water at a simmer.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the simmering water and cover the saucepan.
  • Cook the chicken breasts in the simmering water until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Finely chop the chicken breasts.
  • In a bowl, add the chopped chicken and the seasoned salt and toss to combine.
  • In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and the sriracha and stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken mixture and the coleslaw mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  • Working 1 at a time, position 1 of the spring roll wrappers with a corner facing you. Cover the remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel until ready to use.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture just below the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling and using the extra water, moisten the remaining edges.
  • Fold the side corners towards the center over the filling and then roll the wrapper up tight, pressing the tip to seal.
  • Repeat the filling and sealing process until all of the filling mixture and all of the wrappers are used.
  • In a Dutch oven or an electric skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Fry the spring rolls in batches, turning them occasionally, until golden-brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked spring rolls to paper towels to drain.
  • Repeat until all of the spring rolls are cooked, making sure to maintain the oil temperature at 375 degrees F.
  • Serve hot with the sweet chili sauce.
