Crispy lumpia chips served with a creamy, savory chicken and cream cheese dip for flavorful snacking.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Set the air fryer to 350°F and allow it to preheat.
02 - Cut each lumpia wrapper into four strips or triangles. Lightly brush with oil, then sprinkle with salt and optional garlic powder.
03 - Arrange the wrapper pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crisp. Repeat in batches if necessary. Allow chips to cool completely.
04 - In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
05 - Fold in shredded chicken, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.
06 - Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately alongside the cooled lumpia chips or refrigerate the dip until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The lumpia chips stay impossibly crispy without deep frying, so your kitchen doesn't smell like a takeout joint.
  • The dip comes together in minutes and tastes restaurant-quality because cream cheese does most of the heavy lifting.
  • It's naturally impressive for guests but embarrassingly easy to make when you're alone and hungry.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway shake during air frying—the chips on the bottom will stay pale and chewy otherwise, and that defeats the whole purpose.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is actually softened before you start mixing, or you'll spend ten minutes trying to incorporate lumps that refuse to blend, which I learned the hard way.
  • The dip tastes better cold or at room temperature than warm, so resist the urge to eat it fresh off the stove and give it a few minutes to cool and set.
03 -
  • Brush the wrappers with oil using a pastry brush instead of your fingers—you'll use less oil and coat more evenly, which means crispier chips and less grease.
  • Have your dip made and chilled before you air fry the chips so everything comes together at the right temperature and you're not juggling hot and cold components at the end.
