Place 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken parmesan filling in the center.
-
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal.
-
Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
-
Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F.

For a lighter version, these egg rolls can be cooked in the air fryer at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe and saves time.
