kcalIngredients
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (8 oz) wonton wrappers
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional, for dipping)
Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water, then fold it into a triangle, sealing the edges tightly.
- Place the buffalo blasts on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- If you like extra heat, you can add more buffalo sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper to the filling.
For a healthier version, you can air-fry the blasts instead of baking them. - Make sure to seal the edges of the wonton wrappers well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
