How to make Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups

The Easiest Way to Make Shredded Chicken

First, add ¼ cup water to the bottom of an instant pot.

Then place a piece of chicken breast or chicken thigh in. Specifically, I like seasoning the chicken with 2 tsp buffalo seasoning. However, if you can’t find buffalo seasoning, you can also use salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Next, cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

Finally, release the pressure and shred the chicken with 2 forks or a hand blender.

How to Make Shredded Chicken Dip

First, preheat the oven to 350F.

Then, drain the chicken from excess water.

After, mix the chicken with the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, and buffalo sauce in a bowl and set aside.

How to Make Wonton Cups

First, grease the wonton wrappers on one side. Specifically, I lay them on a baking pan and brush the oil on top.

Then, place the wonton wrappers in a muffin tin. In this case, you can press the sides with your fingers to make a lotus flower shape.

Next, bake the wrappers empty for 5 minutes.

After that, add 1 – 1.5 tbsp buffalo chicken dip in each wonton. Accordingly, spread the dip evenly by pressing gently.

Furthermore, sprinkle some more cheddar cheese on top.

Finally, bake for another 12 – 13 minutes.

Lastly, sprinkle the wonton cups with crumbled blue cheese and chopped green onion for garnish. Serve with ranch dressing or enjoy as is!

Frequently Asked Questions About Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups

Can you use egg roll wrappers for wontons?

In theory, you should be able to use egg roll wrappers! Generally, they are made of the same egg-based dough. However, wonton wrappers are often smaller, so you may need to do some cutting depending on your muffin tin size.

Is Spring roll pastry the same as wonton wrappers?

Spring roll wrappers do not contain eggs and are thinner than wonton or egg roll wrappers. For that reason, I prefer wonton wrappers. However, if you don’t eat egg or maybe don’t have access to wonton wrappers, spring roll pastry is a good alternative.

Can I substitute tortillas for wonton wrappers?

Personally, I prefer wonton wrappers. However, at the end of the day, a tortilla will be reminiscent of the traditional chip and dip combo. Thus, you can give it a shot and keep an eye on the base to adjust cooking times.

How long is shredded chicken good for?

Generally, I recommend eating your shredded chicken within 3-4 days.

Tips for the best Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups

In recipe testing these wonton cups, there are a couple tips I want to share with you:

• Don’t forget to pre-bake the wonton cup to make sure it’s CRISPY!
• Season the chicken before cooking to get the max flavor.
• Storing the chicken dip in the fridge overnight actually makes the wonton cups even more flavorful.
