Blue Cheese & Buffalo Chicken Wonton Bites

It’s wonderful, my 16 y old daughter is registered in cooking class this semester. This week end, she had to make these bites to get extra credit. She made them on Friday and I made them again on Saturday.

These spicy bites are adorable and so delicious, they make a great and festive appetizer!

Serving : 18 appetizers  Preparation time : 10 minutes  Total time : 23 minutes

Ingredients :

• 18 whole wonton wrappers
• 1 cup (125 g) shredded chicken (cooked, about 1 1/2 chicken breasts, baked)
• 4 ounce (115 g) cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter (melted)
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml)  hot sauce
• 1/3 cup (35 g) blue cheese (regular)
• 2 tablespoons  green onions (chopped)

Directions :

1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. (190 degree C.)
2. Using non-stick cooking spray or olive oil, grease two 12-count muffin tins.
3. Press 1 wonton wrapper into each muffin cup (one muffin pan will only be halfway full). Bake in the oven for 5 minutes; set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, whip cream cheese with a handheld mixer for about 1 minute until creamy.
5. Add butter and hot sauce to the cream cheese; use a spatula to mix them together.
6. Stir in chicken and blue cheese and mix until well incorporated.
7. Drop 1 or 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each wonton cup. Top with extra blue cheese if you wish.
8. Place both muffin pans in the oven and allow to bake for 8 minutes until wontons are crisp.
9. Remove wonton bites from the muffin cups and garnish with green onions. Serve warm.
