How to Make Chicken Spring Rolls
TBK’s Pro Tip: I recommend using two bowls for water, this makes wrapping and preparing go quicker. Pie plates are perfect!
Soak the Rice Paper Wrapper
Slip the rice paper wrapper in a bowl (or pie plate) of warm water. Ensure the water covers it all. Wait a minute or two for it to soften completely before removing it.
Meanwhile, prepare your vegetables and slice or shred your cooked chicken breast.
Once softened, lay the rice paper on a flat surface and unfold any pieces that may have gotten stuck to each other.
Stuff Your Chicken Spring Roll
Place your prepared chicken and vegetables in the middle of the softened rice paper.
To avoid tearing, be sure not to over stuff. If your chicken spring roll feels flimsy, I recommend wrapping it in a second layer.
Wrap Your Healthy Spring Roll
Bring the bottom and top of the rice paper wrapper to the center. Hold it with one hand, and make sure the toppings stay in the center. Then bring the right side tightly over and roll. Squeeze the filling as you roll to ensure a tight spring roll.
Set aside and move on to the next!
Yummy Garlic Turmeric Dipping Sauce
Add your sauce ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add water if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Transfer your dipping sauce to a serving bowl and top with optional garnishes, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions about Chicken Spring Rolls Recipe
What does it mean to eat the rainbow?
Eating the rainbow refers to the practice of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables in each color of the rainbow.
Every color contains different (and important!) vitamins and minerals that are vital to your health and wellness, so it’s essential to eat a wide range of these vegetables daily.
What do you serve with spring rolls?
You can enjoy these gluten free spring rolls alone as a light lunch or dinner.
If you want to serve them with a side for something heartier, pineapple fried rice or an Asian chopped salad pair wonderfully!
What makes these gluten free spring rolls?
Many chicken spring roll recipes have gluten in them because the wrap is made from wheat flour dough. These, however, call for rice paper wrappers.
Rice paper wrappers are naturally gluten free, meaning these gluten free spring rolls will fit right into your lifestyle.

Instructions
Chicken Spring Rolls
- Soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water to soften (I recommend two bowls to do two at a time). While the rice paper wrapper soaks make sure the fillings are ready to go.
- Lay the rice paper wrapper on a flat surface and unstick the edges to make a circle again. Add all of your filling ingredients (don't add too much).
- Roll the edges by folding the top and bottom and make the filling tight with your free hand. Next, grab the right side and fold over the filling (ensuring it’s tight) and roll closed. Set aside. Repeat this for the rest.If the spring rolls are a little flimsy add a second layer of rice paper wrapper to tighten it up.
Garlic Turmeric Almond Dipping Sauce
- Add all of the ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. You may have to add more water to get your desired consistency. Play around with the recipe.
- Add the optional garnishes.
- Slice the spring rolls in half and enjoy.
