Ingredients
2 cups shredded chicken or turkey
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
4 oz cream cheese or Greek yogurt
1 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese
12 egg roll wrappers
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Shred 2 cups of chicken using two forks.
Combine shredded chicken, 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, and 4 oz cream cheese or Greek yogurt in a bowl.
Add 1 cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese and mix until fully incorporated.
Cover and chill 10-15 minutes if using cold ingredients for better texture.
Lay an egg roll wrapper diagonally, corner pointing up.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling in a neat mound at the center.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then the sides.
Roll tightly while applying light pressure to seal the wrapper.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Place egg rolls in an air fryer basket, lightly spraying with cooking oil.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe.
Adjust buffalo sauce to taste for desired spice level.
Using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese reduces fat by 40%.
Sharp cheddar enhances flavor in the filling.
Opt for whole wheat wrappers for a healthier option.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
