Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 2 whole chicken breasts
Tear the cooked chicken into longer pieces rather than cubing, so it stays in the roll.
- red onion
- celery
- freshly ground black pepper
- salt
- cayenne pepper
- smoked paprika
- ground cumin
Add the finely diced red onion and thinly sliced celery; season with black pepper, salt, a few shakes of cayenne, and optionally smoked paprika and ground cumin.
Mixing a plain chicken salad
- rice paper wrappers
- cold water
Soak a rice paper wrapper in cold water just until it starts to get flexible; over-soaked, it gets too soft and can tear.
Shake off most of the water and lay it on the work surface still damp; it finishes hydrating while being filled.
- 2 slices avocado
- orange and red baby bell peppers
- English cucumber
- carrot
Starting about a third in from the edge, leaving about an inch uncovered, lay a couple of avocado slices and strips of bell pepper, cucumber and carrot.
Filling: avocado, vegetables, salad, romaine
- ¼ cup chicken salad
- romaine
Spread about a quarter cup of chicken salad evenly over the vegetables and top with half a handful of finely sliced romaine.
Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends, without overstretching the wrapper.
Rolling and double-wrapping
With small wrappers, soak a second one and roll the roll in it, stretching it a little tighter.
To make ahead, hold on a plate with a barely damp paper towel draped over and plastic on top, with paper or plastic between rolls so they do not stick; they hold overnight.
