Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Cut Chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Season Chicken with Jambalaya Seasoning.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove Chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté Vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Rice, Chicken broth, Diced tomatoes, and Tomato paste to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until Rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the cooked Chicken. Let cool completely.
Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the Jambalaya mixture in the center of each Egg roll wrapper. Brush edges with beaten Egg.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly to enclose. Seal the edge with the beaten Egg.
Heat Vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry Egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
