Tips

  1. Try baking at 400°F for 12-15 minutes for a healthier alternative to frying.

  2. Add fresh dill or oregano to the chicken mixture for extra Greek flavor.

  3. Use goat cheese instead of feta for a milder, creamier filling.

  4. Serve with extra tzatziki sauce or Greek yogurt for dipping.

Storage

Store leftover fried wontons in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Uncooked assembled wontons can be frozen for up to 1 month - fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to cooking time.

Steps:

Cook the Chicken
Place chicken breasts in a pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the Chicken Filling
Drain the chicken and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes until easily handled. Cut into small cubes, then place in a blender and pulse until the chicken is finely chopped and easily scooped with a tablespoon.
Assemble the Wontons
Lay wonton wrappers on a flat work surface. Brush 1 teaspoon of tzatziki sauce over the center of each wrapper. Top with 1 teaspoon of the prepared chicken and 1 teaspoon of crumbled feta cheese. Fold the wrapper over and seal the edges firmly.
Prepare Egg Wash
Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the top of each assembled wonton for a beautiful golden finish when fried.
Fry the Wontons
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.

FAQ

Yes! You can assemble the wontons up to 24 hours ahead and store them covered in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month and fry directly from frozen.
Maintain the oil at 350°F (175°C) for perfectly crispy wontons. If the oil is too hot, they’ll brown too quickly on the outside while remaining cold inside.
Absolutely! Brush the wontons with oil and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even browning.
