02 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
03 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
04 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

05 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
06 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
07 - 0.25 cup mayonnaise

# Method:

01 - Set the air fryer to 350°F and allow it to reach temperature.
02 - Cut each lumpia wrapper into four strips or triangles; brush lightly with oil and season with salt and optional garlic powder.
03 - Arrange wrapper pieces in a single layer in the fryer basket and air fry for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking halfway through until golden and crisp; work in batches if necessary. Let cool.
04 - In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese with mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth.
05 - Fold in the shredded chicken, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt; mix thoroughly until combined.
06 - Transfer the dip to a serving dish and pair immediately with the cooled lumpia chips, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chips are impossibly crisp without deep frying, and they stay crunchy even after sitting out for a bit.
  • The dip is rich and creamy with just enough tang to keep you reaching for another chip.
  • It comes together in half an hour, so you can pull it off even when people text that theyre already on their way.
  • It uses simple ingredients you probably already have, plus a pack of lumpia wrappers from the freezer.
02 -
  • Don't skip the single layer step when air frying or the chips will cook unevenly and some will stay soft while others burn.
  • Let the cream cheese soften fully before mixing or you'll end up with lumps no amount of stirring will fix.
  • Taste the dip before serving because different brands of mayonnaise and cream cheese vary in saltiness, and you may need to tweak it.
03 -
  • Brush the oil on with a pastry brush or your fingers instead of spraying it so you can control the amount and avoid soggy spots.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking every single time, even if it feels unnecessary, because it makes the difference between evenly golden chips and burnt edges.
  • If you're making this ahead, prep the dip the night before and store it covered in the fridge, then fry the chips right before serving so they stay crisp.
