Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 medium red bell pepper chopped in small pieces
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 2 cups kale roughly chopped
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 6 green onions chopped
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 24 egg roll wrappers
  • ¼ cup butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using an air fryer, preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir occasionally until chicken is cooked through.
  • Toss in the red bell pepper, frozen corn, kale, and salsa to the skillet. Stir and cook until the peppers are tender.
  • Add the chopped green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Lay out your egg roll wrappers. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges with warm water and fold according to the package instructions.
  • If baking, place egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • If air frying, place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
  • Serve your delicious Mexican Chicken Egg Rolls hot, with your favorite salsa on the side.
