Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 pound raw boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons grape seed oil ( or vegetable oil)
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or fish sauce (use Tamari for gluten free))
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1-2 avocados (, sliced lengthwise)
fresh lettuce (, chopped or torn in small pieces)
fresh basil (, mint or other herbs)
carrots, celery, cucumbers, daikon radish or bell peppers (, cut into thin strips)
8 sheets rice paper ((approximately depending on how large you roll the spring rolls) , about 8 inches in diameter)

Method

Make the Peanut Dip: Combine hoisin, peanut butter, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice (optional), and chili hot sauce (optional) in a bowl. Gradually add water until desired dip consistency is reached. Blend if making a large batch for smoothness. The dip may thicken as it rests.
Prepare Chicken for Air Frying: Pat chicken breasts dry. Make shallow slits in thicker breasts for even cooking. Coat chicken with grape seed oil, salt, and pepper.
Air Fry Chicken: Preheat air fryer basket with oil. Place chicken in a single layer. Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 10 minutes.
Flip Chicken: Turn chicken over and continue to air fry at 380°F (195°C) for another 4-8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Rest and Slice Chicken: Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes, then slice into long, thin pieces.
Assemble Spring Rolls: Prepare a large bowl of warm water. Slice avocado and gather cooked chicken, sliced avocado, lettuce, herbs, julienned vegetables, and rice paper wrappers.
Dip and Soften Rice Paper: Gently dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for a few seconds until pliable. Do not oversoak. Place on a clean surface.
Fill and Roll: Arrange fillings (chicken, avocado, veggies, lettuce, herbs) on the softened rice paper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Notes

– Ensure chicken is cooked through to 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
– Do not oversoak rice paper; it should be pliable, not mushy.
– Experiment with different herbs and vegetables based on seasonal availability.
– For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
