Ingredients
Wonton wrappers (rounds or small squares)
Cooked chicken breast or shredded chicken
Red bell pepper, finely diced
Shredded cabbage or crunchy slaw mix
Green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro and mint
Lime juice and zest
Fish sauce
Rice vinegar or lime juice
Honey or palm sugar
Grated fresh ginger and minced garlic
Sesame oil
Sriracha or chili flakes (optional)
Crushed peanuts or chopped cashews (optional)
Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with oil, then press into a mini muffin tin to form cups. Bake 6–8 minutes, watching closely, until the edges are golden and crisp. Remove and let cool completely.
- Cook the chicken if starting from raw. Season with a pinch of salt, then sauté in a little oil until cooked through. Let cool briefly, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the veggie mix: dice the red pepper, shred the cabbage, and slice the green onions. Roughly chop the cilantro and mint leaves.
- Whisk together the dressing: lime juice, fish sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a whisper of sesame oil. If you like heat, whisk in a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of Sriracha.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, vegetables, and herbs. Pour in the dressing and toss gently until everything is evenly coated and glistening.
- Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad into each crisp wonton cup. Garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh herbs. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate components and fill just before serving to prevent sogginess.
