Ingredients
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 6 hole muffin tin (metal, to fit inside Cuisinart TOA-75XA)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely diced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yoghurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup finely shredded lettuce
- 1 small carrot, julienned into fine strips
- 1–2 spring onions, finely sliced
- ¼ cup toasted almonds or cashews, roughly chopped
- Optional: fresh coriander or mint leaves, finely chopped
Preparation
- To make the Wonton Cups, lightly grease the muffin tin cups or spray with oil. Gently press each wonton wrapper into a muffin cup, folding the edges to create an open flower shape like in the image. Lightly brush or spray the wontons with oil to ensure even crisping.
- Place the muffin tin into the Cuisinart Air Crisp Pro and select Air Fry setting at 180C for 5 minutes Cook until the edges are golden and crisp. Watch closely during the last minute to prevent over-browning, and add time if not browned enough after 5 minutes. Remove and cool completely in the tin to hold their shape.
- Repeat above process with an additional 6 wontons to ensure you have 12 crispy wonton cups
- To prepare the chicken salad, combine in a mixing bowl - diced chicken, mayonnaise, soy sauce, vinegar or lemon juice, and garlic if using. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Once the wonton cups are completely cool, spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture into each cup. Top with a pinch of shredded lettuce, a few carrot strips, sliced spring onion and a spinkle of the chopped nuts.
- Once the wonton cups are completely cool, spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture into each cup (no more than 1 tablespoon to keep it neat like the image).
