Steps:
- Combine 1 cup peanut sauce, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl. Add the chicken and mix until the chicken is coated. Place in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Cook the snow peas, bean sprouts and green onion in the oil until heated but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Mix in the watercress and cilantro. Use a vegetable peeler to have long slices of carrot into the watercress mixture. Drizzle 1 teaspoon soy sauce into the watercress mixture; toss to coat.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil to the wok or skillet. Cook the marinated chicken until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
- Fill a large bowl with hot water. Dip wrappers one at a time into the water for about 2 seconds each. As wrappers are removed from the water, fill each with 2 large spoonfuls of the chicken and a small handful of the watercress mixture. Fold in two opposite ends of the wrapper to meet the filling. Then fold the bottom of the wrapper over the top of the filling and roll. Serve with 1/2 cup peanut sauce for dipping.

CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS WITH GARLIC SOY DIPPING SAUCE
Healthy and tasty! Often when I go to make a new recipe, I'll search and find sometimes 3 or more that sound good. I'll then make a combination of them, more than likely adding or omitting a few ingredients to suit my palate. This is one of those times. I really liked the resulting spring rolls and I hope you do too! Make sure that if you don't want to cook the wrappers, you get the ones that can be soaked for a few seconds in water, then made into a wrap and eaten immediately.

EASY CHICKEN STIR FRY AND BAKED SPRING ROLLS
I love the idea of "Cook Once Eat Twice". There are those days when you just can't get into the kitchen, but certainly want a good meal. This recipe fits the bill. My version of a chicken stir fry that can be served immediately, or rolled into phyllo leaves for spring rolls which can be frozen and baked at a later date. Great for entertaining, a healthy snack, or a lighter meal served with a salad and a variety of dipping sauces. Feel free to switch the chicken for beef, pork or shrimp. Any variety of vegetables will work also. Vegetarians in your family? Eliminate the meat completely, for a dish that everyone will enjoy. The combinations are endless. You can use melted butter when preparing the rolls, however I prefer to use cooking spray as it's easier then brushing the extremely thin pastry sheets. Note: cooking time will vary depending on how crispy you prefer your vegetables. Servings sizes and nutritional values will not be completely accurate as posted if you are having just the stir fry, as it also includes the phyllo dough. See below for information on preparing Spring Rolls. Don't let the long list of ingredients and directions scare you off. This works up very quickly.

Steps:
- In a small bowl mix chicken slices, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes and basil. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but no longer than 24.
- Heat a large skillet to a medium high heat. Add the marinaded chicken, Saute until lightly browned.
- Add carrots, sweet red peppers and celery. Continue to cook until vegetables begin to softened.
- Add bean sprouts, onions, peas, salt and black pepper. Mix cornstarch with water and set aside.
- Once the bean sprouts have softened to your liking, add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the juices.
- Stir in the sweet chili sauce and serve.
- Preparing Spring Rolls:.
- Allow mixture to cool, for easier handling.
- Work with one phyllo leaf at a time. Keep the remainder covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. They will dry out quickly if not.
- Sheets should be cut in half horizontally. Lay one sheet out on the counter and give a light coating of cooking spray (or brush with melted butter). Fold in half with the short sides together.
- With the short side towards you, place 2 tbsp (or to your liking) of mixture onto the lower third of the phyllo leaf. Bring the bottom up over the mixture, then fold in each side. Again, lightly coat with cooking spray. Roll tightly, and lay on a baking sheet with the seam side down. Continue in this manner until all the mixture has been used. Give another light coating of cooking spray. At this point, you can freeze them for later use or continue on to bake. With the full recipe, I've been able to make 30 spring rolls.
- Preheat oven to 375*. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Bake frozen rolls for 25 - 30 minutes.
BAKED CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS
I love spring rolls, but can't stand deep fried foods - this recipe saves calories and fat by baking not frying spring rolls. My family of three eats these for a light dinner, however, they also make a great appetizer.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS
This recipe was featured on the Rhodes Around China TV series on the Hong Kong leg of the journey. Gary was taught to make these by a couple of local executive chefs. They are incredibly easy to put together, and very flavourful. I sometimes add bean sprouts and peas and corn and leave the meat out to make them vegetarian. Great as a snack, light meal or as part of a buffet. My family, especially the children, love them.
