Ingredients

• 1 piece boneless skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 pieces rice paper wrappers
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 small cucumber
• 0.5 cup red cabbage
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 0.5 cup mint leaves
• 1 medium lime
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and marinate them in 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sriracha for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté the marinated chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Allow them to cool.

Step 3

Julienne the red bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and red cabbage. Keep them aside.

Step 4

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut it into thin slices.

Step 5

Prepare a clean, flat surface and a large bowl of warm water to soften the rice paper wrappers.

Step 6

Dip each rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 15-20 seconds or until soft. Lay it flat on the clean surface.

Step 7

Place a small amount of chicken, bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, red cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and mint leaves on the bottom third of the softened rice paper.

Step 8

Fold the sides over the filling and then roll it up tightly from bottom to top. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.

Step 9

Combine the juice of one lime with the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water to make a dipping sauce.

Step 10

Serve the spring rolls fresh with the prepared dipping sauce.
