Chicken Summer Rolls Recipe

This recipe is so simple and easy to make, because it uses only a few ingredients. You will probably already have some of these ingredients at home, and if you don't, you can easily swap out ingredients and it will still be delicious! If you don't like chicken, you could substitute it for tofu, or you can just leave it out and put in some more vegetables or rice.
Try them with some sweet-sour or satay sauce - You won't regret it!

Step 1

Cut up all your vegetables and put them into separate bowls. Place the herbs into bowls too.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1cm thick strips. We usually don't season our chicken, since we dip the rolls in sauce anyways, but if you want to season your chicken, do it now. Put the chicken into a non-stick pan (if you don't have one, just use some oil) and cook it on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour some warm water into a bowl that is a little bigger than the diameters of your rice papers. For each roll, put the rice paper into the water for about 30 seconds, or until it is soft. Take the rice paper out and lay it onto a plate or cutting board. Now place the ingredients you want onto the rice paper and roll it up.
Tip: Make sure you don't put in too much, otherwise it will be very hard to roll them up properly. If you don't know, what technique to use you can simply google it or play around with it.

In the end your roll should look something like the one pictured above.
Tip: It's also very fun to let your guests roll their own rolls at the table!
