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
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. Rest and Slice Chicken: Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes, then slice into long, thin pieces.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
