Lately, all my cards are on the table, and every single one involves rice paper. My Rice Paper Recipes are quickly becoming my favorite collection on the site (shhhh!), and...I'm loving it. After spiraling up rice paper versions of croissants like Ham and Cheese, sandwiches like Bacon Egg and Cheese, pastries like Spanakopita, and classics like Pepperoni Pizza, it was only a matter of time before chicken parm joined my crispy rice paper spiral recipe lineup.
This version hits all the familiar notes. Crispy edges, warm marinara, stretchy cheese, and tender chicken. But instead of breading and frying for dough, everything gets wrapped up in rice paper and baked until golden and crackly.
It’s faster, lighter, and honestly more fun to eat than the classic, which makes it a keeper in my book.
Why this chicken parm rice paper spiral works
Rice paper crisps quickly in a hot oven while staying flexible enough to roll. Dipping it in egg helps it seal and brown evenly, creating a sturdy shell for saucy fillings. Using pre-cooked chicken keeps the center juicy without overbaking, and the cheese melts just enough to hold everything together.
"A fresh take on an old classic. This is the nostalgia that is chicken parm, reinvented in the best way."

Recipe
Chicken Parm Rice Paper Spiral
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Whisk: Add 1 egg to a shallow bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Dip: Dip each rice paper sheet into the egg, coating both sides, until just pliable.
- Layer: Lay the sheets on a lightly oiled surface, slightly overlapping to form one large sheet.
- Fill: Add shredded chicken across the center, then spoon over marinara and sprinkle with cheese.
- Roll: Roll tightly into a cylinder, sealing as you go, then gently coil into a compact spiral.
- Brush: Brush the top with any remaining egg, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and Italian seasoning.
- Bake: Bake at 400°F for 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Serve warm!
Notes
- Use finely shredded chicken so the spiral rolls easily and holds together.
- Keep the sauce layer thin to avoid sogginess.
- Serve with extra marinara on the side if you want more sauciness without compromising the crisp shell.
