Prepare all filling ingredients: poach chicken, cut sweet red bell pepper, English cucumber, and rainbow carrots into strips, and tear fresh herbs.

Soak rice paper in cold water until it becomes bendable and pliable.

Place a damp towel on the surface to work with the rice paper.

Lay down baby greens near the bottom of the rice paper.

Add strips of chicken and sweet red bell pepper on top of the greens.

Roll the rice paper over the filling, pressing down as you roll to seal.

Add more chicken, strips of cucumber, rainbow carrots, and fresh herbs to the second section of the filling.

Complete the roll by folding in the sides and rolling tightly to seal.

Transfer the rolls to a plate lined with damp paper towels to prevent drying out.

If not serving immediately, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Slice the rolls in half before serving and enjoy with spicy peanut sauce.
