Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Egg Rolls

- 1 tablespoon water (for sealing)

Optional Ranch Dip

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning, and green onions.
Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly combined and the cream cheese binds the filling into a creamy mixture.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Brush a little water on the edge to seal the wrapper.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat the Oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot until it reaches about 2–3 inches deep.
Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Egg Rolls
Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil.
Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wrappers become golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve
Serve the egg rolls warm with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Cutting them in half before serving reveals the melty cheese and creamy filling inside.

Tips for the Best Bacon Chicken Ranch Egg Rolls
Using rotisserie chicken can save time and add extra flavor.
Make sure the oil temperature stays close to 350°F to ensure the egg rolls fry evenly without becoming greasy.
Do not overfill the wrappers, as this can cause them to burst while frying.
Air Fryer Option
For a lighter version, you can cook these egg rolls in an air fryer.
Brush them lightly with oil and cook at 380°F (195°C) for about 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy.
Variations
You can customize these egg rolls with additional ingredients like:
- diced jalapeños for spice
- mozzarella instead of cheddar
- chopped spinach for extra flavor
- buffalo sauce for a spicy twist
These Melty Stuffed Bacon Chicken Ranch Egg Rolls are crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor in every bite.
