Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.

  5. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly before assembling the egg rolls
