Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: extra shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. Shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces using two forks. You should have about 2 cups.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Buffalo hot sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix until smooth. Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onions, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or hot sauce as desired.
  4. Lightly brush one side of each wonton wrapper with melted butter. Press the wrappers, buttered side up, into the cups of a mini muffin tin, forming little cups.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each wonton cup, level with the top of the wrapper.
  6. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top of each cup if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy and the filling is bubbly and hot.
  8. Let the cups cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes. Use a small spoon or offset spatula to gently lift them out and transfer to a cooling rack or serving platter.
  9. Garnish with remaining sliced green onions and serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overfill the wonton cups to prevent spillage. Brush wrappers thoroughly with butter for crispiness. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Make filling up to 2 days ahead. Cool cups for 2-3 minutes before serving to avoid burns and improve crispiness.
