Crispy, cheesy, and irresistibly savory, Chicken Wonton Stars are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer. These bite-sized delights feature golden wonton wrappers filled with a creamy mixture of ground chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and a pop of freshness from finely chopped green onions. A splash of soy sauce and a dash of garlic powder add a rich, umami depth to the filling, all baked to perfection in a muffin tin. Ready in just 30 minutes, this easy recipe offers perfect handheld bites for game days, parties, or even weeknight snacking. Serve these crunchy, gooey stars warm with your favorite dipping sauce for an appetizer that's both fun to make and impossible to resist!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the cups of a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Take one wonton wrapper and press it gently into a muffin tin cup, shaping it into a star. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers to line all 24 muffin cups.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling into each wonton wrapper, being careful not to overfill.
Lightly mist the tops of the wontons with nonstick cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the wonton stars in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the wrappers are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the wonton stars to cool slightly before transferring them to a serving platter.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce. Enjoy!
