These crispy honey chipotle chicken wonton cups combine sweet honey and smoky chipotle in a crunchy, bite-sized appetizer that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, finely chopped or shredded
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Non-stick cooking spray or a little oil for greasing muffin tin
  • Optional garnishes: chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, drizzle of extra honey or squeeze of lime, thin slices of avocado or dollop of sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin with non-stick spray or a bit of oil.
  2. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin tin cups, folding edges as needed to form little cups.
  3. Bake the wonton cups for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and slightly browned.
  6. Stir in chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Cook another 2-3 minutes until flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust moisture by adding a splash of water or cooking longer to reduce sauce if necessary.
  8. Spoon the warm chicken mixture into each crispy wonton cup, filling generously but not overstuffing.
  9. Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, or an extra drizzle of honey. Serve immediately for best crispiness.

Notes

Bake wonton wrappers first before filling to keep them crispy. Adjust chipotle peppers to control heat level. Store chicken filling and wonton cups separately to maintain crunch. Reheat wonton cups in oven to crisp again.
