Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin tin cup, ensuring it forms a small shell. Lightly brush the wonton wrappers with olive oil to help them crisp up.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until completely mixed.
Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each wonton cup, distributing evenly between the 12 cups.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each chicken cup, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the Italian Chicken Cups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes. Use a fork or small spatula to carefully remove the chicken cups from the muffin tin.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Chicken Cups as an appetizer, party treat, or a quick and easy meal!
