Baked Chicken Egg Rolls: Un-Chained Recipe Contest
Very Good 4.4/5

One of my biggest fast-food temptations are greasy fried egg rolls from places like Panda Express. I made over this healthy version using lean chicken and fresh vegetables. Baking the egg rolls instead of frying them saves even more calories and these don't disappoint! They're flavor packed and I can make them often without feeling guilty. I serve them at parties, or for dinner with a side of brown rice. (Un-Chained Recipe Contest Entry- Fast Food Category)

Very Good 4.3/5

I can't take credit for this recipe, as it is originally from Weight Watchers Simply Delicious cookbook. I changed it slightly in that I use boneless/skinless chicken breast in favor of a bone-in variety. Personally, I prefer a little less vinegar and a tad more mustard, but you can play around with the recipe to your taste preference.

The biscuit crust is made with a food processor which makes it easy to do large batches if you have a lot of tomatoes to process. Use fresh homegrown tomatoes and corn--these pies freeze very well--make a bunch in the summer and pull them out on snowy days in winter to remember what summer it like.
