When I am asked to bring something to a party, I tend to be your main dish or dessert girl. For some reason, appetizers have never been my forte. This is why I challenged myself to spend more time this year perfecting my appetizer skills. It’s not like appetizers are all that hard to make. I guess I just feel like sometimes they require more creativity than I have the skills for.
When Yoplait contacted me about creating a recipe using their new Lactose Free line of yogurt, I thought it was a great opportunity to hone in on my appetizer-making skills.
I went with a recipe that can be adapted and tweaked to put your own spin on flavors. Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups are full of spicy buffalo chicken, cooled off a bit with shredded cabbage and a creamy lactose-free yogurt sauce, and wrapped up in a cute little bite-size wonton cup. They are a bit of appetizer perfection in a spicy little handheld cup. Enjoy!
Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups
Equipment
- muffin tin
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken tenders boiled and cubed
- 24 won ton wrappers
- 2 containers 6 oz Yoplait Lactose Free Vanilla Yogurt
- ½ cup prepared lactose free Buffalo Wing sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded cole slaw cabbage and carrots without sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F
- Line 2 cupcake pans with wonton wrappers. Bake 3-4 minutes until edges are brown.
- In a medium bowl combine yogurt and wing sauce. Slowly add cubed chicken and shredded cole slaw cabbage and carrots. Mix until well blended.
- Place one large spoonful of chicken mixture into each prepared won ton cup, filling each cup completely.
- Place in the oven again, baking for 4 minutes or until mixture is warmed through. Serve hot.
Disclosure: I was compensated by Yoplait Lactose Free Yogurt for my time and ingredients to create this recipe. All opinions expressed are my own.

Those look divine. I make a more traditional version of wonton tacos, so these will be an exciting change!

That’s exactly why I like them… it was so easy to throw together and made a nice, simple presentation!
Debbi Does Dinner Healthy says
Did you use a regular muffin pan or a mini muffin pan? These sound great!
Kristen says
Debbi – I actually used a regular muffin tin but it might actually work better in a mini one now that you say that!

These sounds (and look) amazing. I, too, am appetizer challenged. I always joke that I can cook a multi-course dinner with dessert but when it comes to appetizers I am at a lose. Definitely going to add this recipe to my must try list!

I have made a version of these before but they didn’t have the slaw on them. May have to try that next time.

I love the color and presentation and it looks crispy. Thanks for the recipe. I’ll suggest it to our cook, on the upcoming party that will be held at my house.
naomi says
Perfect party food, Kristen! But I love having a plate of appetizers for dinner so I would probably do that.
