Ingredients
Scale
Salad and Chicken
- 1 bag Asian Salad
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
Egg Roll Base
- 4 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying or baking the egg roll wrappers (about 1 cup or as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg roll base: In a medium skillet, heat enough oil over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan to about 350℉. Place each egg roll wrapper in the hot oil and fry for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can lightly spray or brush oil on both sides of the wrappers and bake or air fry them until crisp.
- Toss the salad: Place the Asian Salad mix in a large bowl or bag. Toss gently with the included dressing or ingredients from the salad bag to evenly coat the greens.
- Prepare the chicken: Toss the cooked chicken tenders in sweet chili sauce, using about 2 tablespoons of sauce per 2 tenders. Adjust amount to your taste, or drizzle the sauce over the chicken if preferred.
- Assemble the salad: Place a crispy egg roll wrapper on a serving plate. Top it with a generous portion of the dressed Asian salad, followed by the sweet chili-coated chicken tenders. Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchy textures.
Notes
- For a lighter option, bake or air fry the egg roll wrappers rather than frying.
- Rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken can be used to save prep time.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to suit your preferred spice and sweetness level.
- Use oil with a high smoke point like vegetable or canola oil for frying.
- This dish is best served immediately to maintain the crispiness of the egg roll base.
