Free Recipe Wednesday! (Buffalo Chicken Rolls)

Welcome everyone to another edition of Free Recipe Wednesday!  It is Wednesday right?!  Finally we're back to doing this on Wednesday after the last couple of weeks doing it on Thursday.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and didn't get too sunburned .... or too drunk!  Speaking of beer, today's recipe should go nicely with a cold beer.  I discovered this recipe somewhere online and it's currently sitting on my "going to make if I ever have time" list.  I'm sure some of you can relate.  Maybe I can get my sister or mom to make these for the next family get together (*hint hint*).  Enjoy everyone and please let me know what you think if you try them.  As always feel free to post comments below.

Buffalo Chicken Rolls

  • 12 egg roll wrappers (roughly 4 square inches)
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (6 ounces)
  • 1/2- 2/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1 cup broccoli slaw or cole slaw (dry)
  • Small bowl of water
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface. In a small bowl, stir chicken* (see note below) and hot sauce until well coated, using more or less sauce depending on your spice preference. The meat should be moist with sauce.

2.  Begin by placing one tablespoon of the broccoli slaw on the diagonal of the bottom right corner of one of the wrappers. Next, place 2 tablespoons of shredded spicy chicken evenly on top of the slaw. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese crumbles over the chicken. Do not overfill.

3.  To fold: Fold the bottom right corner over the stuffing mixture so that it covers it completely, with the tip of the corner now pointing to the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold in the bottom left corner, followed by the right, so that you now have formed an envelope. Roll the wrap upward one time, leaving the top left corner open. Wet your index finger in the small bowl of water and press to moisten the top left corner. Now fold that down on top of the filled roll, sealing it like you would an envelope.

4.  Repeat with remaining rolls.

5.  Place the rolls on a wire rack set on top of a cookie sheet (or just on a greased cookie sheet) coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spritz each roll evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls crisp and turn a light golden brown.

*Note: To make the chicken, place 1/2 lb of uncooked chicken breast in a small pot and fill with enough water just to cover it. Bring to a boil on your stove top, reduce the heat slightly, then simmer for about 12 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain and let cool before shredding with two forks, pulling against the grain of the meat. (You can also do this in a crock pot).
