Mix shredded chicken with cream cheese, cheddar, diced ham, and seasonings like garlic and onion powder to ensure a creamy, flavorful filling.
- → What is the best way to seal the egg rolls?
Brush beaten egg on the wrapper edges before rolling to secure the filling and prevent it from leaking during frying.

Yes, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–18 minutes, turning halfway for a crisp texture without deep frying.
- → What dipping sauces complement this dish?

Bacon or cooked bacon pieces can be used as alternatives, or omit for a pure chicken filling.
