Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Olive oil spray or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Lay wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Moisten edges of wrappers with water, fold over to form a triangle, and press edges firmly to seal.
- Place filled wontons on prepared baking sheet, spacing about an inch apart. Brush tops lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
- Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over tops, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with reserved green onions and flaky sea salt if desired. Serve warm with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
For best results, use block cream cheese rather than spreadable. Shred chicken from a rotisserie chicken for convenience. Seal wonton edges well to prevent filling from leaking. Bake in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
