Crispy lumpia chips served with a creamy chicken and cream cheese dip for a flavorful snack or appetizer.

# Components:

→ Lumpia Chips

01 - 12 lumpia (spring roll) wrappers
02 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

→ Chicken Cream Cheese Dip

05 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
06 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
07 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
08 - 2 tablespoons sour cream
09 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
10 - 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
11 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
12 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
13 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
14 - 1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

# Directions:

01 - Set the air fryer to 350°F to warm up.
02 - Cut each lumpia wrapper into four strips or triangular shapes. Lightly brush with neutral oil and season with salt and garlic powder if using.
03 - Arrange the wrapper pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crisp. Repeat in batches if necessary. Allow to cool before serving.
04 - In a medium mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth.
05 - Fold in the shredded chicken, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
06 - Transfer the dip to a serving dish and present immediately with the cooled lumpia chips, or refrigerate the dip until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These chips stay shatteringly crisp without deep frying, and your kitchen doesn't smell like hot oil for days afterward.
  • The dip is silky and addictive—the kind of thing people ask you to make again the next time they visit.
  • Everything comes together in under thirty minutes, making it perfect for last-minute gatherings or when you need to feel like you tried.
02 -
  • The chips need to cool completely before serving or they'll seem soggy even though they're still crisp—the moisture from the air fryer settles as they cool to room temperature.
  • Shredding the chicken finely makes all the difference; chunks will sink or create an uneven texture that doesn't feel as satisfying to eat.
03 -
  • If you don't have an air fryer, these can be baked at 375°F for six to eight minutes, though they won't be quite as crispy—the air fryer really is the MVP here.
  • Don't skip shaking the basket halfway through frying; that one step is the difference between evenly golden chips and inconsistent results.
