Cheesy Chicken Wontons Recipes

CREAM CHICKEN WONTONS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix your ground chicken, cream cheese, green onions and seasonings until combined.
• Set up a rolling station with the wonton wrappers and a small dish of water.
• Place a wonton wrapper at an angle, so there is a corner pointing up.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling (more if you want) in the center of the wrapper.
• Using your fingers, brush the entire edges of the wonton wrapper with a little bit of water. Fold the wrapper over the filling, making a triangle and then press the edges shut. If it doesn't seal good, brush the edges with a little more water.
• Take the two corners of the triangle (on the bottom of the triangle where the wrapper is folded over) and press them together. Use a little bit of water to make sure the corners stay stuck together, then fold them to one side, pressing them to the wonton. Repeat until all of the filling is gone.

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!

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.

• Fry in preheated oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
