Filling Ingredients
- 1 package ground chicken (or 4 chicken breasts ground)
- 1 large package fresh spinach, cooked down and chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cavander’s Greek seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Wrapper and Coating
- 1 package small wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Cooking Oil
- Vegetable oil or frying oil, enough for deep frying about 1 inch deep
Instructions
- Prepare the oil and chicken: Heat about 1 inch of frying oil in a skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). In a separate skillet, cook the ground chicken and chopped onions over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper, then drain any excess fat.
- Combine filling ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked chicken and onions with the chopped spinach, Greek seasoning, feta, and mozzarella cheese. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay one wonton wrapper flat in a diamond shape. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken and spinach mixture into the center. Fold the left and right corners over the filling, then fold the bottom corner up. Dab a bit of the beaten egg on the top corner to act as glue, then roll tightly upward to seal the roll completely.
- Fry the rolls: Carefully place the rolls seam side down in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5 minutes total. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the Greek chicken and spinach rolls warm, alongside a creamy feta dressing if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature remains steady at 350°F for perfect frying results.
- Use fresh spinach and cook it just until wilted to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
- Seal the rolls well with egg wash to prevent them from opening during frying.
- Drain the cooked rolls well on paper towels to keep them crispy.
- These rolls can be baked as a healthier alternative by brushing them with oil and baking at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until golden.
