Rotisserie Chicken for the Win
Let your grocery store do the heavy lifting-rotisserie chicken is juicy, flavorful, and already cooked. If you prefer a lighter option, poached chicken works just as well. Just boil until cooked through and shred. Bonus tip: If you do use rotisserie, save the bones and make a batch of homemade stock for future meal prep wins.
Avocado & Chicken Summer Rolls Ingredients:
- 12, 6-inch rice paper wrappers
- 2 cups shredded chicken (1 rotisserie chicken)
- 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 12 Boston Lettuce Leaves or 2 cups Microgreens Mix
- 2 Avocados, thinly sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt & Black Pepper
The Amazing Avocado
Avocados are meal prep gold. They're technically a fruit, but unlike sugary fruits, they're loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and potassium (more than bananas!). If you're worried about browning, try a squeeze of lime juice-or store the slices submerged in water until ready to assemble.
FAQ: Avocado & Chicken Summer Rolls
Are summer rolls healthy?
Absolutely. These are packed with lean protein, veggies, and healthy fats-and they're naturally low in processed ingredients. They're a great swap for higher-fat options like fried egg rolls.
Can I meal prep these ahead of time?
Yes, but enjoy them within 48 hours for best texture. After that, the rice paper may soften too much from condensation.
What dipping sauce should I use?
We love a classic peanut or hoisin sauce, but ranch or a zesty vinaigrette works great too. Choose whatever fits your dietary needs or flavor preferences.
Can I swap out the chicken?
Totally! Try cooked shrimp, tofu, or even tempeh for a plant-based option.

Ingredients
- 12 6-inch rice paper wrappers
- 2 cups shredded chicken 1 rotisserie chicken
- 2 large carrots thinly sliced
- 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced
- 12 leaves Boston Lettuce or 2 cups microgreens mix
- 2 medium avocados thinly sliced
- 1 medium lime juiced

Instructions
- Dip a sheet of rice paper into a bowl of lukewarm water for 5-10 seconds, until soft enough to bend. Then lay it flat on a damp towel on a firm surface.
- In a small bowl, add the juice of 1 lime to the sliced avocado. Set aside.
- Spread the Boston lettuce or microgreens mix on the bottom third of rice paper, followed by the thinly sliced carrots, thinly sliced cucumbers, rotisserie chicken slices, and sliced avocado. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Fold up the bottom edge to cover the ingredients. Then, fold in the outside edges and tightly roll until sealed.
- Place the finished roll on a plate lined with a damp paper towel. Continue steps 1-3 until all remaining ingredients are used. Take care to leave space between the finished summer rolls next to each other so they don't stick together.
- Cut each roll in half, then place four half rolls in each container (makes up to 6 containers). Serve with either a peanut dipping sauce, Greek vinaigrette, ranch dressing, or hoisin dipping sauce.
