Broccoli and Cheese Chicken Egg Rolls on a plate

Broccoli Cheese Chicken Egg Rolls

These chicken egg rolls are loaded with the classic combination of broccoli with cheese that so many eaters love, even veggie-haters. The fun part about this chicken recipe is that you can add extra cheese for the added gooey-cheesy goodness. And the broccoli adds a different touch and flavor to the classic vegetable egg rolls that uses the typical cabbage and carrots. It’s a great way to get kids to eat broccoli and it’s the perfect finger food for parties. If you want to make a large batch, plan ahead by making the mixture the day ahead and let it marinate in the fridge. Upon day of cooking, all you have to do is to roll the egg rolls, fry them up and serve them to the hungry crowd!

Cheese Options

The recipe uses sharp cheddar cheese, but you can use your favorite melting cheese. You can also make this into a spicier recipe by using pepper jack cheese. Another fun cheese option is to use aged cheddar, swiss cheese, gruyere or emmentaler for added flavor. You really can’t go wrong with mixing up the broccoli cheese flavors. Just remember to not add to much cheese, or else the egg rolls will ooze out too much cheese into the oil, causing a big mess. Click Here for More–>  Egg Roll Recipes and Asian Recipes.

Some find it unusual to use uncooked ingredients in the egg rolls. Yes, this is using raw ground chicken. That is the traditional way for many cultures (if you haven't made it this way, please be open to the way others do make it.) It is no different than frying chicken but instead of it wrapped in the chicken skin and batter, it is wrapped in an egg roll wrapper. We find the filling stays juicier and more tender. But if you are more comfortable cooking the chicken ahead of time, go for it!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (454 g) ground Chicken
  • 2 cups (180 g) chopped Broccoli floret (chopped small so that they don't puncture rolls)
  • 3 (3) cloves Garlic , minced
  • 1/2 medium Onion , minced
  • 6 ounces (170 g) grated Cheese , or add how ever much you like
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Kosher Salt or sea salt , or to taste
  • fresh cracked Black Pepper , to taste
  • 1 Package Egg Roll Wrappers (or sometimes called "spring roll" wrappers in the freezer section of market)
  • 1 Egg , beaten or @ 2 Tablespoons Water
  • Oil for frying
  • Hoisin Peanut Dip , recipe & video here or watch video in the post above

Instructions 

Make the filling:

  • In large bowl, combine all ingredients (chicken, broccoli, garlic, onion, cheese, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper). Mix together well so that all ingredients are well combined.

For the Rolling & Frying:

  • Using egg roll wrappers or spring roll wrappers, add about 2 Tablespoons of chicken filling to each wrapper. Tuck and roll the wrapper around the filling (watch the video in the post above to see how to roll even and tight rolls). Brush the top corner of the wrapper with water or beaten egg to help seal the wrapper end, and then finish rolling the egg roll. Repeat for all the egg rolls.
  • Fill large frying pan with about 1/2-inch of vegetable and heat oil to about 350°F.
  • Slowly add egg rolls to frying pan, without crowding the egg rolls in the pan because they will stick together if placed too close.
    Fry each side of egg roll for about 3 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove and blot on paper towel to remove excess oil.
  • Serve warm with hoisin-peanut dip. You can also wrap these chicken vegetable egg rolls in lettuce and them eat them as lettuce egg roll wraps!
