Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2–3 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by combining your shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and chopped jalapeños in a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or fork to blend everything well until the mixture is creamy and slightly cohesive. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper, making sure the flavors are balanced to your liking!
- To assemble your Bacon Ranch Chicken Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls, lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoon of your prepared filling onto the center of the wrapper. Next, fold the bottom corner up over the filling, press it down gently, then fold in the sides. Roll your egg roll tightly away from you, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
- In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil to about 350°F. You’ll know the oil is hot enough when you drop a small piece of the wrapper in and it sizzles immediately.
- Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown all over. Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Your Bacon Ranch Chicken Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls are ready to be served! Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve them hot with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which leads to uneven cooking.
If you’re health-conscious, consider air frying these egg rolls instead of deep frying, for a lighter alternative.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to retain their crispiness.
