My name is Cassie and I'm absolutely addicted to rice paper rolls!  Well, these chicken rice paper rolls to be precise.

These light and fresh Vietnamese-inspired chicken summer rolls are just perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner.  They'd also make a great appetiser if you're expecting guests.

I like to use store-bought rotisserie chicken for these rolls because it's delicious and easy, but if you want to cook up some fresh shredded chicken that works too!

Feel free to mix and match the fillings with vegetables and herbs you enjoy.  I love a mix of carrot, capsicum and celery with some coriander but mint would work well too.

Whatever you do be sure to serve these rice paper rolls with my signature peanut hoisin dipping sauce.  This sauce is so good you'll want to eat it by the spoonful, and compliments these rolls so well.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN RICE PAPER ROLLS - STEP BY STEP

Place a damp tea towel or dish cloth onto a clean surface and fill a bowl with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for 20 seconds or until softened, then lay the wrapper on top of the damp tea towel.

Pile your fillings up in the middle bottom of the wrapper (be careful not to overload), then fold the bottom and sides of the wrapper over the fillings like an envelope. Roll up tightly and set aside.

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.  Serve with peanut hoisin dipping sauce.

STORAGE ADVICE

Rice paper rolls are always best served fresh, but that doesn't mean they can't be stored.  Leftover rice paper rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a day with no real issues aside from a slightly dried out rice paper wrapper.  I've certainly never found this to be a problem!

TOP TIPS

• Serve these rice paper rolls with my peanut hoisin dipping sauce.
• Rice paper wrappers are very delicate.  If you find your wrapper has small rips or tears in it during the wrapping process this is completely normal.  Once you roll it all up tightly it won't matter.
•  Rotisserie chicken is perfect for these rice paper rolls.  Alternatively you can cook up some chicken breast (or your own roast chicken) and shred it for this recipe.  Any method works - poached, instant pot, pan fried.  Whatever sounds good to you.
• Eat fresh if you can, but if you have leftovers store in an airtight container in the fridge for a day.
