Category: Hot
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 envelope taco seasoning (mild or spicy, I like the spicy)
2 tbsp oil
1 small onion, chopped (or use 1/2 medium)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (16 oz) jar salsa, divided (can use picante sauce, mild, medium or spicy)
2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Seasoned salt, to taste (or use white white)
36 wonton wrappers
Garnishes: Sour cream, chopped green onions and chopped ripe olives

Sprinkle the chicken cubes with taco seasoning.

In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes or until juices run clear. Tansfer chicken to a food processor; cover and process until chopped.

In a large bowl combine the chicken with onion, garlic powder, black pepper, half of the salsa and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Season the mixture with salt to taste if desired.

Press each wonton wrapper into miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

Spoon rounded tablespoonfuls of chicken mixture into each cup; top with remaining salsa and cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve warm.

Garnish with sour cream, green onions and olives if desired. 36 wonton appetizers

Notes; the chicken filling can be made a day in advance and refrigerated however you will need to warm slightly in the microwave before spooning into the wonton cups.

To make it spicier, use spicy taco seasoning mix and spicy salsa or add Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
