Chicken Parmesan Wonton Cups

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two (24-cavity) greased mini muffin tin with the wonton wraps, pressing down gently to mold the shape. Place wraps in the oven and bake for 7 minutes, then remove and set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, place oil and let warm up for 1-2 minutes. Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, basil and garlic. Add chicken to the pan and cook thoroughly, approximately 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside to cool slightly.

Chop fresh mozzarella into very small cubes. Then chop chicken up into small cubes as well.

In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, pasta sauce, and Parmesan cheese until thoroughly combined. With a spoon, evenly distribute the chicken mixture and the cubes of mozzarella into each wonton cup. Sprinkle Panko bread crumbs over the chicken and cheese, evenly distributing over each wonton cup.

Place the wonton cups in the oven and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before carefully removing from muffin tin.

Top with fresh basil if you like. Serve warm.
