Baked Cheesy Chicken Wonton Cups


If you were given a task to prepare an appetizer for a party, potluck, picnic or gathering, what will you prepare?  There is one which I had in my mind and wish to try out for quite some time, that is baked wonton cups. 

Baked wonton cups can be easily prepared and be invented in so many designs of flavors of fillings.  It can be blended with meat, fruits, vegetables, etc., etc....  

This is my first trial, I would like to try with chicken meat mix with colorful bell peppers and add in with some spiciness when I stir-fried the fillings.  I just use some chili flakes, you may ignore them if you don't like them, as it will still taste good when those cheeses topping melted after baked.

So, if you wish to prepare something look classy and presentable yet yummy, try this out!
