Easy Baked Jalapeno Chicken and Cheese Wontons Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup cubed cooked chicken
• 0.5 cup Borden® Cheddar and Monterey Jack Shreds
• 0.5 cup jalapeno-flavored cream cheese, softened
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 24 square wonton wrappers
• Salsa, for serving
• Soy sauce for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, combine cooked chicken cubes and pulse until finely crumbled. Add the shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, along with the jalapeno cream cheese. Pulse a few times until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add additional cream cheese, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
3. Place a generous teaspoon of the chicken-cheese mixture onto the bottom corner of each wonton wrapper, leaving approximately a 1/2 inch border. Lightly brush the edges of the wonton with water and fold the opposite corner over to create a triangle shape. Press firmly to seal the edges completely. Repeat this process for all remaining wontons.
4. Arrange the prepared wontons on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray, then flip each wonton and spray the other side as well.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 to 9 minutes, or until the edges of the wontons turn a golden brown color.
6. Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by your favorite salsa or soy sauce for dipping.
