These fresh and flavorful chicken and vegetable spring rolls are the perfect appetizer or light meal. They're surprisingly easy to make, and the vibrant colors make them a real showstopper. Think of a bright, sunny afternoon, maybe a picnic in the park—these spring rolls are the ideal companion.
I created this recipe after a disastrous attempt at making sushi. Yes, that's right, it went totally wrong! I needed a simpler way to use up the leftover chicken and veggies, so I went for spring rolls. Turns out, much easier and so much more fun to make! This spring rolls recipe, now a family favorite, makes great use of seasonal veggies, resulting in an explosion of flavors and textures.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, prep your veggies! Wash, peel (if needed), and slice your carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers into thin matchsticks. Think about 3-4 inches long—easy to roll!
- Next, get that chicken ready. If using rotisserie chicken (my personal shortcut!), shred it into strips. If cooking it yourself, make sure it's fully cooked and shredded before we move on.
- Now for the rice paper. Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water. Don't make it too hot—lukewarm is ideal. We'll dip our rice paper wrappers here.
- Let's assemble! Lay one rice paper wrapper on a clean, dry plate or surface. Quickly dip it into the warm water for just a few seconds, making sure to wet the whole wrapper evenly. This will soften the rice paper.
- Place the softened rice paper flat. Arrange a few strips of chicken and vegetables in the center, leaving a little space at the edges.
- Roll it up! Starting at the bottom, gently fold the rice paper over the filling, tucking in the sides to create a tight roll. It might take a little practice, but soon you'll be a spring roll-rolling pro!
- Repeat the process. Keep going till you use all the rice paper wrappers. I usually make a whole batch— they’re perfect for sharing (or a quiet night in!)
- Finally, the hoisin sauce. If you’re feeling fancy, make your own— there are tons of recipes online. If not, a store bought version works just fine. Serve your spring rolls with the sauce and enjoy!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the number of rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients based on desired portion size.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bean sprouts or lettuce for extra flavor and texture.
- If you're short on time, use pre-cut vegetables to save prep time.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of sriracha to the hoisin sauce. Mmm!
