Chicken Egg Rolls

Submitted by Mama_Jennie

"I have a cookbook of 500+ chicken recipes. I've been looking for a recipe to pair with various asian dishes that I cook. I think this would be perfect. You can use chicken, beef, turkey, veggies... whatever you have on hand really. You can serve these with light soy sauce or sweet & sour sauce. Cooking time does not include chill time."

Maded these for dinner last night and they were great! Since DH doesn't do chicken I opted for the veggie version. I also added fresh ginger, napa cabbage and water chestnuts to them. Instead of frying I baked for 15-20 minutes at 350. To keep them sealed up used a wash of corn starch and water on the edges. Made for ZINGO. Thanks for sharing!

These egg rolls are GREAT, or at least they were! Made these up as a lunch item, & another time I want to make them for part of my finger food counter for one of the groups I host each month ~ They'd be a big hit, I know, especially with a sweet-&-sour dip! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in the Family Picks portion of Zaar World Tour 4]
