Ingredients

• 12 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin tin cup, ensuring it forms a small shell. Lightly brush the wonton wrappers with olive oil to help them crisp up.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until completely mixed.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each wonton cup, distributing evenly between the 12 cups.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each chicken cup, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake the Italian Chicken Cups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes. Use a fork or small spatula to carefully remove the chicken cups from the muffin tin.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Chicken Cups as an appetizer, party treat, or a quick and easy meal!
