Steps:
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry between paper towels, then cut each breast into 6 equal tenders, about 1 ounce each. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Soak 1 rice paper wrapper in a large shallow bowl of warm water until pliable, about 15 seconds, then lay on a cutting board. Arrange 1 chicken tender lengthwise across the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the chicken, then fold in the sides and roll up into a tight log. Place the roll-up on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and chicken tenders.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, place the roll-ups in a single layer in the basket, spacing them apart, then spray with them with cooking spray. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the roll-ups are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Garnish the roll-ups with the scallions, cilantro, and chiles and serve with sweet Thai chili sauce.
Tips:
- Use day-old rice. This will help the rice to fry up evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Chop your vegetables and chicken into small, even pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Cook the rice in batches, if necessary. If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook the rice in batches.
- Season the rice to your liking. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other desired seasonings.
- Serve the chicken fried rice immediately. This is when it is at its best!
Conclusion:
Air fryer chicken fried rice is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy meal. It is perfect for busy weeknights or weekend lunches. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
