A great way to use leftover chicken salad. Wonton wrappers can be substituted in a pinch for the egg roll wrappers.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These quarterback sacks are a fun appetizer. The creamy chicken filling is seasoned perfectly with mayo, sweet relish, and a touch of hot sauce. Melted cheddar cheese adds to the gooey filling inside a crispy, golden brown egg roll wrapper. While they do take time to assemble, we were thrilled at how cute the finished sacks were. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, and they'll disappear fast. Great for snacking while watching your favorite team.
