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 substituted green peppers for the broccoli, I am allergic to broccoli. - 6/7/09

I made my own sauce to lower the sodium, but otherwise it was excellent! - 6/7/09

Oh, do share your sauce! I'd make a homemade mandarin/orange sauce if I knew how... Maybe you could give some ideas? :)

Hope you like it! I know it's a little high in sodium, but the Panda Express sauce is to blame ;)
We get the sauce from Safeway groceries or our Walmart Supercenter. Can't remember which, but thought that might help :)
Let me know what you think!
