healthy buffalo chicken egg rolls

Now that we’re full swing into football season, my mind goes to one place every Sunday/Monday – buffalo chicken. Normally, I whip up a big batch of my healthy buffalo chicken dip (which is awesome, if I do say so myself). However, I wanted to take that recipe a bit further. I knew I could successfully make a buffalo chicken dip healthier, but could I do better? These healthy buffalo chicken egg rolls confirm that it can indeed get better. Spicy, creamy buffalo filling, melty cheese, and a crunchy exterior – all made better-for-you. These are air fried with minimal oil, made with greek yogurt so they’re full of protein, and they’re WW friendly.

Making Healthy Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

Whereas my healthy buffalo dip is made in the slow cooker, these don’t require much pre-cooking. You’ll just want to cook your chicken and let it cool ahead of time, and the rest is mostly assembly/air frying. To make these, you’ll need:

  • Egg roll wrappers
  • Cooking spray which will help them crisp up in the air fryer
  • Boneless, skinless chicken breast that’s cooked, cooled, and shredded finely
  • Hot sauce (I use Frank’s)
  • Ranch seasoning (I used Hidden Valley from a packet)
  • Light cream cheese (can sub vegan or regular)
  • Nonfat Greek yogurt (I used Fage 0%)
  • Low fat shredded mozzarella

You’ll mix everything together and work on assembling your egg rolls. You’ll also want to have a little dish of water handy for assembly (wetting the edges helps the egg rolls stick together).

Turn egg roll wrapper diagonally. You’ll put 2 tbsp of filling in each egg roll wrapper, then fold the bottom up first. Then fold the sides in, wet the top edge, and roll it up to seal. Place on a sprayed air fryer tray and repeat to make 10 egg rolls. Spray the tops well with cooking spray and air fry at 375 for 6 minutes, then flip over and air fry for another 3-4 to crisp up on all sides.

    1. You should be able to – increase the temperature by 25 degrees for oven cooking and keep an eye on them, I would do about 6-7 minutes on each side and then adjust depending how crispy you like them!
