Chicken Wontons

Hands down, our MOST requested recipe.  Mom was randomly given this recipe by a checker at the grocery store. It has been a family favorite and favorite of our guests ever since.  

Chicken Wontons
1 package wonton wrappers
1 lb shredded chicken breast ( I use 2 LARGE cans of cooked chicken from Costco)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise (BEST FOODS!!)
5 stalks of chopped green onions
8-12 oz shredded colby/ jack cheese
1 package dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

Place wontons in mini-muffin tins, pressing down in the hole to form a cup.  Bake wrappers in a 350 degree oven until tips are slightly golden in color, 8-10 minutes. Immediately remove wrapper from tin, repeating until they are all baked.  (See notes below..)

Meanwhile... make filling by combining rest of ingredients.  Fill baked wontons with a spoonful of chicken mixture.  Bake filled wontons again in the mini-muffin tins for 10-15 minutes @ 350 degrees. Be careful not to overcook!

**Notes:  When I am making these for a party, I usually bake the wrappers the day before, and store them in Ziplock bags.  I also mix the chicken stuff up and keep it in the fridge.  Then before the party, I just have to fill the cups and re-bake.  :-)
