- ½ cup frozen corn
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese

For the BBQ Ranch Dipping Sauce:
- ½ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional
- ¾ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried onion flakes
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cook the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. In a bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
Shred and Mix: Shred chicken with two forks. Stir in frozen corn and additional BBQ sauce if needed. Let mixture cool slightly.
Preheat Oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble Egg Rolls: Place a wrapper on a clean surface. Add 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheese. Fold the bottom up, then the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito. Seal edges with water.
Repeat until all egg rolls are assembled. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake: Lightly spray or brush tops with oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Make the Dipping Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the BBQ Ranch until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
Serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.
