Notes
My neighbor Sue gave me this recipe and I made it for our neighborhood Christmas party. It's Delicious, very easy to make and we had zero leftovers. I substituted 3 (12.5-oz) cans of chunk chicken breast (drained) for the 3-4 skinless chicken breasts as called for in the recipe, mixed up the chicken and spices the day before the party. I also baked the wontons a few hours earlier, then filled each wonton cup and baked until bubbly.. This saved so much time!
