Baked Chicken Egg Rolls

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)Submitted by: SARASMITTY

I love orange chicken, but can't eat it becasue it's fried. This looks like a good alternative and tasty recipe. I am going to give it a try. - 1/9/09

I had a go at this recipe today- I added courgettes, bell peppers and mushrooms to the mix.
Whilst I did enjoy it, it was slightly bland for my taste.
I would make it again but next time I will add more veggies as I love my vegetables and double the sauce amount but with less water (1 measure). - 6/4/09
