Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 green onion, finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cheddar or Colby Jack cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion (optional)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a muffin tin on a baking sheet. Lightly spray muffin cups with cooking spray.
  2. Gently press each wonton wrapper into a muffin cup, creating a cup shape with the corners extending upward.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the wonton cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each filled wonton cup.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until wonton edges are golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
  7. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tin.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. For extra flavor, drizzle with additional BBQ sauce before serving.

Notes

For extra-crispy cups, pre-bake the empty wonton wrappers for 3-4 minutes before filling.

Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe and saves preparation time.

Wonton wrappers can usually be found in the refrigerated section near the produce in most grocery stores.

These are best served immediately for maximum crispness.
