Instructions

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).  

Stir in shredded chicken, chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly. Let it cool completely.  

Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface, one corner pointing towards you.
