Rotisserie Chicken Summer Rolls with Avocado Ranch
The following recipe and photography were provided by local blogger Carolyn Hodges of The Dinner Shift.
Summer rolls are a great no-cook lunch or dinner option during the warmer months when no one wants to turn on the stove.
These rolls are packed with fresh, seasonal produce and feature one of the best store-bought convenience items—rotisserie chicken.
Heinen’s makes it easy by offering fresh rotisserie chickens daily! You can also find chilled rotisserie chicken in the Daily Bites section of our Prepared Foods Department, ready to use straight from the package.
When serving summer rolls around, a flavorful dipping sauce is a must. This recipe includes a creamy, delicious avocado ranch that pairs beautifully with the rolls and works well with a variety of dishes. If you’re in the mood for something more traditional, you can swap it for a classic peanut sauce or use a premade option when time is short.
Why You’ll Love this Recipe:
- It’s filling and nutritious. The mix of avocado, lettuce, bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot, along with the rotisserie chicken, provides a satisfying balance of healthy fats, fiber, and protein to keep you feeling full and energized throughout the day.

Rotisserie Chicken Summer Rolls with Avocado Ranch
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Summer Rolls
- 12 large rice paper wrappers
- Red bell pepper, sliced
- Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- Matchstick carrots
- Cucumber, sliced
- Lettuce leaves
- Fresh herbs, like basil and/or cilantro (optional)
- Heinen’s rotisserie chicken, cooled and shredded
For the Avocado Ranch Dipping Sauce
- 1 ripe avocado
- ¼ cup water
- 3 Tbsp. Heinen's apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 small garlic clove
- ½ tsp. Heinen's organic dill weed, optional
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Soak the rice paper wrappers, one at a time, in warm water for about 30 seconds, or until completely pliable. Transfer one rice paper wrapper to a work surface.
- Layer the vegetables and chicken in the center of the wrapper (about ⅔ cup total). Fold the sides of the wrapper into the center, then fold up the bottom over the fillings and gently but firmly roll up to the top to seal while keeping the roll tightly packed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
- To prepare the sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thinner consistency, add more water. Feel free to swap this homemade sauce for a premade sauce from Heinen’s, if desired.
Summer rolls can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and the sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
