Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a food processor, combine the diced cooked chicken, shredded cheese blend, and softened jalapeno cream cheese. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and slightly crumbly, but not overly processed. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of salt or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor. (2 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Lay out a wonton wrapper. Place a generous teaspoon of the chicken-cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper. (1 minute)

06

Step
2 mins

Lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. This will help to create a tight seal. (2 minutes)

07

Step
3 mins

Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Ensure there are no air pockets inside. (3 minutes)

08

Step
15 mins

Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling. (15 minutes)

09

Step
2 mins

Arrange the filled wontons on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. (2 minutes)

10

Step
1 mins

Lightly spray the wontons with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring both sides are coated for even browning. (1 minute)

11

Step
10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy around the edges. (10 minutes)

12

Step
2 mins

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. (2 minutes)

13

Step
1 mins

Serve warm with your favorite salsa and soy sauce for dipping. (1 minute)

For an extra crispy finish, you can brush the wontons with a light coating of oil before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add other ingredients like diced onions or bell peppers to the filling.
These baked wontons are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for optimal crispness.

    I had trouble getting the edges to seal. Any tips? (Try using a pastry brush to apply the water and press firmly!)

    I added a little garlic powder to the filling and it was amazing!

    So much easier and healthier than frying! I'll definitely be making these again.

    My kids devoured these! They're a great way to sneak in some extra protein.
