Chicken and Veggie Wonton Cups
400 gms ground chicken/ finely chopped chicken
3 cloves garlic chopped
½ cup diced onion
salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup chopped veggies of your choice (I use mushrooms, colourful peppers, carrots)
½ cup grated cheese ( I prefer cheddar cheese)
Thin Wonton/ Spring roll square Wrappers ( I prefer to use medium-sized square spring roll wrappers from the freezer section)
1 teaspoon chilli powder
½ teaspoon oregano
½ tsp thyme
chopped coriander leaves or any herbs of your choice
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tablespoons Hot Sauce or sweet chilli sauce
2 tablespoons Jalapeno sauce or any sauce you have in your fridge
Let’s prepare :
Preheat oven to 180C.
Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook for 2-4 minutes and add diced onion and garlic. Continue to cook and stir occasionally until ground chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add chopped veggies. Cook off all the water, and make it a dry mixture.
Add the sauces to the chicken and then take off the heat. Stir sauce until all chicken is coated.
Line each cup of prepared muffin tin with a wonton wrapper. Add 1.5 tablespoons chicken mixture. Top with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Press down and add another layer of wonton wrapper, chicken mixture, and a final layer of cheese.
Bake at 180 C for 11-13 minutes until cups are heated through and edges are golden.
Serve with sour cream and chopped herbs for garnish.
