Yields: 24 cups
Ingredients:
- 2-3 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 tbsp. butter, melted
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/2 cup bleu cheese crumbles
- 3 scallions, sliced thinly
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Brush chicken breasts with olive oil. Then sprinkle evenly with smoked paprika and chili powder.
- Place in a baking dish and cook for 20-30 minutes (until the center of the chicken is no longer pink).
- Remove chicken from oven. Let cool, then shred.
- Fit the wonton wrappers into each of 24 mini baking cups (keep the corners of each wrapper open). Bake for 5 minutes or until very lightly browned. Keep these wontons in the baking cups.
- Stir together the melted butter and hot sauce in a medium-sized bowl. Add shredded chicken and stir until well-coated. Fill each wonton cup with 1-2 tbsp. of chicken, and top with bleu cheese.
