Buffalo Chicken Cups

Makes 12 cups

Ingredients

1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 Tbsp. olive oil

¼ tsp. smoked paprika

¼ tsp. chili powder

12 wonton wrappers

½ Tbsp. butter, melted

¼ cup cayenne hot sauce

¼ cup blue cheese crumbles

1-2 scallions, sliced thinly

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil, and then sprinkle evenly with the smoked paprika and chili powder.
3. Place in a baking dish and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear. Remove chicken and let cool, then shred.
4. Meanwhile, fit a wonton wrapper into each of 24 mini baking cups, pressing the wrappers carefully but firmly into sides of cups. (Be careful to keep the corners of each wonton wrapper open; otherwise you will not be able to fill them!)
5. Bake for 5 minutes or until very lightly browned. Keep wontons in baking cups.
6. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the melted butter and hot sauce. Add the chicken and stir until well coated. Then fill each wonton cup with a tablespoon or two of chicken, and then top with a pinch of blue cheese.
7. Return wonton cups to oven and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is soft and melted. Remove and top with sliced scallions, and serve warm. These are best served immediately.

Tip:  If you’d like to save a step, you can easily substitute a rotisserie chicken for this recipe.  Just shred it, and follow the steps to mix it with the hot sauce, etc.
