Fresh Chicken Spring Rolls
My Fresh Chicken Spring Rolls are packed with protein, veggies and rolled in lettuce with rice paper for a tasty snack, meal or appetizer. They’re so easy to make and it’s great to switch it up once and a while.
You can store them in the fridge for an easy snack on the go for the next 2-3 days. Just be sure to individually wrap them in plastic wrap in an air tight container or the rice paper will dry out.

Chicken isn't the only option
These can be made with chicken, fish, shrimp, veggies, tofu, just about anything. I've even seen some people get creative and make "cheese burger" spring rolls. When I've ordered them from restaurants, they also include rice noodles in them which is also delicious.
Rice Paper
The rice paper can be very tricky to wrap because it gets sticky and can tear easily. One thing to remember is that you don't need to soak it in the water to become sticky. Grab a plate, add a thin layer of water, completely coat the rice paper and gently add it to a cutting board or flat surface. From there, assemble your spring rolls and it will become the sticky texture.
- 3 Pieces of Rice Paper
- 130 grams Boneless Chicken Thighs
- 50 grams Shredded Carrots
- 35 grams Sliced Cucumbers
- 6 Leaves of Butter Lettuce
- 3 Pinches of Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter
- 1/2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chili Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Substitute
- 1/2 tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 Clove of Minced Garlic
- 1/2 tablespoons Minced Ginger
- 2-4 tablespoons Water (Add as much or little as you like)
First, grab a plate, add a thin layer of water, completely coat the rice paper and gently add it to a cutting board or flat surface.
Next, assemble your spring rolls adding in your ingredients and rolling it into a tight burrito.
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and whisk. Add more or less water to achieve the consistency you desire.
