Ingredients
2 cups cooked diced chicken
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained well
1 jalapeño, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon honey
12 small wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, forming small shells.
In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken, drained pineapple, minced jalapeño, cream cheese, honey, and shredded mozzarella. Mix until well blended.
Spoon the mixture evenly into each wonton cup.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent soggy cups.
For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in the mixture.
Rotisserie chicken works great for convenience.
You can substitute Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added flavor.
Best served warm and crispy.
