Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
  • ½ cup cream cheese softened
  • cup hot sauce like Frank's Red Hot
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • ½ cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • ¼ cup green onion sliced
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • small dish of water
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, blue cheese, Monterey jack, and green onions in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
  • Separate the wontons, then place one wrapper in front of you on the counter or a cutting board.
  • Place approximately one tablespoon of the filling in the middle of the wrapper, then dip your finger in the water dish and moisten the wrapper's edges.
  • Fold one half of the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, then gently press the edges together to seal them.
  • Fold the two points of the long edge of the triangle over the filling to meet in the middle and press them together. You will have a little pillow, sort of resembling an envelope.
  • Place the prepared wontons in a single layer in your air fryer basket, and then give them a generous spray of olive oil.
  • Set the air fryer to 380° and cook the wontons for 7-10 minutes until crispy and golden, turning halfway through.
  • Serve garnished with additional crumbled blue cheese or sliced green onion with dishes of blue cheese dip, hot sauce, or ranch, if desired.

Notes

If your air fryer does not have a setting for 380°, reduce it to 375° and add an extra minute of cooking time, if needed.
If you don't like blue cheese, omit it and replace it with additional shredded cheese.
You can use store-bought cooked chicken or cook your own in the instant pot before making the wontons.
If you don't have Monterey Jack cheese, you can substitute it with almost any cheese you like; Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella are all fine.
