Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
- 4 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Place in a baking dish.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Prepare a large bowl of warm water and a clean, damp kitchen towel.
Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip it into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds until softened, then lay it on the damp towel.
In the center of the wrapper, add a few slices of chicken, a small handful of spinach, several cherry tomato halves, cucumber sticks, and some crumbled feta cheese.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up tightly to encase the filling, ensuring there are no gaps. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
For the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and chopped parsley. Adjust the consistency with additional water if necessary.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the tahini dipping sauce on the side.
