Expert Tips

  • Picking up ingredients for these chicken salad bites? Sambal oelek is an Asian condiment that can be found in the ethnic aisle of your grocery store.
  • One 8-oz package of cream cheese can be used instead of cream cheese spread. Soften cream cheese as directed on package.
  • If you want your chicken salad rolls to be less spicy, reduce the chile paste to 2 to 3 teaspoons.
