Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup fresh mango, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 medium avocado, diced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with olive oil.
Press each wonton wrapper into the cups of a standard muffin tin to form a cup shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced mango, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat. If using avocado, carefully fold it into the salad just before serving.
Spoon the chicken salad into the cooled wonton cups, filling each generously.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
