Baked Cheesy Chicken Wontons Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN WONTONS

Steps:

• Spray a medium skillet with PAM Cooking Spray and add chicken; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place skillet over medium-high heat and cook 2 to 3 minutes; spray skillet again with PAM Cooking Spray and turn chicken over. Continue to turn chicken every 2 to 3 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked and becomes a golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and cool. Once cool, roughly chop chicken and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together and combine: cream cheese, shallots, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha. Once chicken has cooled and is chopped, stir it into the cream-cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a large baking sheet using PAM Cooking Spray. In a small bowl, add in egg and 1 teaspoon of water, whisk until frothy, and set aside.
• Assemble wontons: Lay out wrappers on your work surface, then spoon about 1 tablespoon of cream-cheese mixture into the center (I used a small cookie dough scooper). Then, using your fingers (I use my middle and pointer fingers together), rub the edges of the wrappers with egg/water mixture. Pull up two sides and pinch in the center; bring up the other two sides, creating an "X," and seal all the edges together by pinching them. Place wonton on the prepared pan and repeat with remaining wontons and filling.
• Placing the wontons into a single layer on the prepared pan, place in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. NOTE: Be sure to check about 4 to 5 minutes into cooking time; you don't want to overcook these.
• Serve immediately and devour.
• *Cooking time of the chicken may vary depending on how thick your chicken is sliced into the chicken tenders.

BAKED JALAPENO CHICKEN AND CHEESE WONTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cooked chicken cubes in a food processor. Pulse until chicken resembles crumbs. Add shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and jalapeno cream cheese. Pulse 2 or 3 times until mixed. If mixture appears dry, add more cream cheese, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of chicken-cheese mixture on the bottom corner of a wonton wrapper. Leave a 1/2 inch border around wonton. Brush the edges with water and fold over opposite corner to form a triangle. Press to seal edges. Repeat for all wontons.
• Place wontons on prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Turn; lightly spray other side of wontons with cooking spray.
• Bake in preheated oven until the edges turn brown, 8 or 9 minutes.
• Serve warm with salsa or soy sauce.

HEALTHY BAKED CHICKEN WONTONS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray two 9 x 13-inch baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil , drizzling it down the sides of the wok. When the oil is hot, add the shallots, garlic, and green onion and stir-fry briefly. Add the chicken meat and stir-fry until the chicken changes color and is nearly cooked through.
• Stir in the peanut butter, shredded carrots, green curry paste, soy sauce, sugar substitute, and lime juice. Remove the wok from the burner and allow the mixture to cool.
• Fill and fold the wontons : First, set out the wonton wrappers and a small bowl filled with water. Lay out 1 wonton wrapper and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the middle.
• Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to wet it.
• Take another wonton wrapper and wet the edges. Place it on top of the other wonton, moistened-side down, in a way that forms a star shape (i.e., the top wrapper looks like a diamond instead of a square).
• Fold the star points from the bottom wonton over the top. Fold the star points from the top wonton under the bottom. Now you should have little packets .
• Continue with the rest of the mixture and wontons.
• Lay the wontons out on the baking sheets and spray lightly with more cooking spray. Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until browned on both sides, turning halfway through cooking.

BAKED CHEESY CHICKEN WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• While the oven is heating, combine cream cheese, green onions, chicken, cheese, Pace® Salsa Verde and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Fill a small bowl with tap water.
• Start assembling wontons by setting out 6 wonton wrappers at a time (place a damp paper towel over any wrappers you are not working with to prevent them from drying out). Fill each wonton wrapper with a heaping teaspoon of filling. Dip your fingers in water and run them along the edges of the wrapper. Bring the corners of the wrapper together and press along the seams to seal the filling inside. (Note: Don't worry if these aren't perfect - they'll still taste great!)
• Set assembled wontons on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a small amount of space between them. Continue until all of the wontons are filled.
• Spray the tops of the wontons with nonstick cooking spray (this will help them to crisp and turn golden).
• Bake until wontons are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
• Serve with extra salsa of choice for dipping. Enjoy!
