Avocado Chicken Summer Rolls w Coconut Peanut Sauce
Description
This recipe for Avocado Chicken Summer Rolls involves assembling shredded cooked chicken, cucumber sticks, thin avocado slices, and fresh cilantro onto softened rice paper wrappers. The wrappers are briefly soaked in warm water to become pliable before wrapping tightly to encase the fresh ingredients. The rolls are seasoned with lime juice, salt, and pepper for brightness. Complementing the rolls is a coconut peanut dipping sauce made by whisking peanut butter with coconut milk, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic; hot water is added to smooth the consistency. The dip's balance of creamy, tangy, and mildly savory flavors pairs well with the fresh, crisp rolls. This dish provides a light, handheld option suitable for warm days or as an appetizer.
Ingredients

- 4 baby cucumbers cut into matchsticks, seedless
- 2 avocado thinly sliced
- 1 cup cilantro fresh
- 12 rice paper wrappers
- 1 lime for spritzing

coconut peanut dipping sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut milk

- 1 garlic minced, clove
- ¼ cup water or a little more if needed, hot

Instructions
rolls
- Set up an assembly line with your shredded chicken, cucumber sticks, avocados and cilantro.
- To assemble the rolls, fill a round cake pan or skillet with warm water. Dip rice paper wrapped in and submerge it completely for 15 to 20 seconds. Remove it and place the rice paper on a cutting board. Top it with a few pieces of shredded chicken, a few cucumber sticks, a few pieces of avocado and a pinch of cilantro. Spritz with lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Start rolling from one end and fold in the sides as you go. The paper will stick together and your roll will hold! Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers. Serve with the peanut sauce!
coconut peanut dipping sauce
- Whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice and garlic until combined. Whisk in the hot water until the dip thins out and is smooth. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. If the dip thickens up again, you can always add in a drop of hot water and stir! This stays great in the fridge for a few days.
