For holiday parties and summer picnics, try these stuffed wonton cups with a Southwest-style chicken filling. You can freeze them, too. Just reheat after thawing. —Lee Ann Lowe, Gray, Maine

These were so good! I need to get a food processor to make the prep a little easier. These didn't last long at all!!

Wonderful! Used the "stuffing" for a grilled chicken pizza.

I love this recipe and it's a big hit for the parties I've brought it too! I used canned chicken as well and it works great in a pinch!

This recipe is excellent, looks pretty and there are never any leftovers. I have substituted pre-formed filo cups for the wonton wrappers which was quicker and also excellent.
