Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts until they’re fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Let the chicken cool for a few minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Using the same skillet, add the chopped bell peppers. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are softened and bright in color.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed peppers, Southwest seasoning, and shredded cheese. Stir everything together until the ingredients are well blended.
  4. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the corners inward, then roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent opening during frying.
  5. In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until a small piece of wrapper sizzles upon contact.
  6. Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, frying until they’re golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Drain them on paper towels after frying.
  7. Enjoy your warm Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping.
