Healthy Baked Chicken Wonton Recipes

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!

CHICKEN WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix chicken, egg, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined.
• Scoop about 1 teaspoon chicken mixture and place into the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten 2 adjacent edges of the wrapper with water and fold into a triangle. Connect the two lower points of the wrapper and moisten to seal and make a hat shape. Repeat with remaining chicken and wonton wrappers.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Stir wontons into boiling water. Add 1/2 cup cold water and allow water to return to a boil. Repeat boiling with another 1/2 cup cold water. Wontons are ready when chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Drain.

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.

• 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.
