Ingredients
Scale
- Wonton wrappers (square)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftovers)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray. Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup to form a cup shape.
- Bake wonton cups for 6-8 minutes until golden and starting to crisp but not browned.
- While cups bake, mix cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, blue cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well blended.
- Remove wonton cups from oven and let cool slightly.
- Spoon buffalo chicken mixture into each wonton cup, filling generously but not overflowing.
- Return filled cups to oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until cheese melts and filling is bubbly.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
- Serve warm. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F/90°C) for up to 30 minutes if needed.
Notes
Spray muffin tin with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Watch wonton cups closely to avoid burning. For convection ovens, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C). Can substitute Greek yogurt for ranch for a lighter version. For gluten-free, use gluten-free wonton wrappers or lettuce cups (less crispy).
