Description

These Baked Peanut Chicken Wontons offer a deliciously crispy and healthy twist on traditional fried wontons. Filled with tender rotisserie chicken, crunchy coleslaw mix, and chopped peanuts, they are baked to golden perfection and served with a creamy, tangy peanut dipping sauce. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, these wontons combine savory and slightly spicy flavors in a simple, oven-baked recipe that’s quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Wontons

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 cup diced rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix
  • 1 tbsp chopped peanuts
  • 30 wonton wrappers

Peanut Sauce

  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Pinch crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly brush a baking sheet with canola oil to prevent the wontons from sticking. You may want to have a second baking sheet ready if needed.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine diced rotisserie chicken, coleslaw mix, and chopped peanuts. Stir gently to mix evenly and set aside.
  3. Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper until smooth. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of this sauce to add to the chicken filling and keep the rest for dipping.
  4. Mix Filling and Sauce: Add 3 tablespoons of the prepared peanut sauce to the chicken mixture and stir well to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  5. Assemble Wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers and place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each. Moisten the edges with water, then fold diagonally to form triangle shapes. Press the edges firmly to seal the wontons and prevent them from opening during baking.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the filled wontons on the oiled baking sheet(s) without overcrowding. Brush the tops with the remaining canola oil to help them crisp up.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, turning the wontons once halfway through baking to ensure even golden browning.
  8. Serve: Remove the wontons from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with the reserved peanut dipping sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the edges of the wonton wrappers are well sealed with water to prevent openings during baking.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, but you can substitute with cooked shredded chicken breast if preferred.
  • The coleslaw mix adds crunch and moisture, but you can substitute with finely shredded cabbage and carrots.
  • Watch the baking time closely to prevent over-browning; ovens vary.
  • For extra crispiness, you could spray the wontons lightly with oil before baking.
  • This recipe works well as a party appetizer or light snack.
