### Ingredients You’ll Need

 

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (16-ounce) package tri-color coleslaw mix
- 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (16-ounce) package egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying

Chef's notes:
- “Use fresh coleslaw for crunch.”
- “Make your own chicken for added flavor.”
- “Add soy sauce for extra seasoning!”

### How to Make It
1. **Heat the oil**: Start by warming the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Listen for that gentle sizzle!
2. **Cook the veggies**: Add the tri-color coleslaw mix into the skillet. Stir until it softens, about 3-4 minutes. The colors will brighten, and flavors will blend beautifully.
3. **Mix in chicken**: Toss in the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Combine everything together and let it warm through for about 2-3 minutes. The aroma will be irresistible!
4. **Prepare wrappers**: On a clean surface, arrange your egg roll wrappers with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner.
5. **Wrap them up**: Fold the corner over the filling, then tuck in the sides and roll tightly. Use a dab of water to seal the edges.
6. **Heat oil for frying**: In a deep skillet, pour in the vegetable oil to a height of about 2 inches. Heat it over medium-high heat until a small piece of wrapper sizzles when dropped in.
7. **Fry those egg rolls**: Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Flip them with tongs and watch for that crispy texture.
8. **Drain excess oil**: Once done, transfer the egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the oil. 
9. **Serve warm**: They are best enjoyed fresh and hot!

### Kitchen Tips (From My Kitchen)
1) **Quick Tip**: Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
2) **Common Mistake**: Don't overfill the wrappers; it makes sealing tricky. 
3) **Variation Idea**: Spice up the filling with a dash of chili paste for a kick!

- Perfect for a **weeknight dinner**, alongside steamed rice.
- Great as a **snack** for movie nights or game day.
- Add to a **buffet** spread for festive holidays.
- Serve with a dipping sauce, like sweet chili or soy sauce, for an extra flavor boost.

### Storing & Leftovers
- **Fridge storage**: Best consumed within 3 days.
- **Freezer option**: Freeze uncooked rolls for up to a month.
- **Reheat**: Try baking in the oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to regain crispiness.

Leftover Idea: Make a fun egg roll bowl with rice and veggies!

### FAQs
- **Can I make them ahead?** Yes, you can prep and store them in the fridge for a day before frying them.
