Author: Anita
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 45 mins
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¾ cup chopped onion
  • oil
  • ½ cup diced green chiles
  • ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 3 cups grated cheddar cheese (or cheddar/Monterey Jack blend)
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 package wonton sheets
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet, sauté the chicken, onions, and cumin in just enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook over low heat until chicken is cooked throughout. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, blend the cilantro, cheese, chiles, and pepper, and set aside.
  4. Shred the chicken with a fork and then blend in with the cheese mixture.
  5. Press a wonton sheet into each muffin cup, shaping into a cup shape.
  6. Bake the wonton sheets for about 3 minutes or just barely starting to brown, then remove from oven.
  7. Fill each with chicken/cheese mixture and return to oven for 3-4 more minutes or until lightly browned and cheese melted. Watch carefully to not overcook.
  8. Remove from oven and place wontons on a serving dish.
  9. Repeat until all wontons are cooked, then serve.
Notes
These can be reheated for 20 to 30 seconds in a microwave.
