Mini Chicken Lasagna Cup Recipe : So Cute, So Very Very Cute

Category : Lasagna, mini, wonton wrapper

When I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner tonight, I thought of the boxed ready-made mini lasagnas in the supermarket. I've always wanted to try them. Then I remembered I have a lot of frozen wonton wrappers leftover from the Wonton Soup in the freezer in need of attention.

So I came up with the idea of these cute mini lasagnas cups made with wonton wrappers in a muffin tin!

Not only did they turn out super cute, they were extremely appetitizing! Unlike thicker traditional lasagna noodle sheets, the super thin Wonton wrappers are very crispy and light.

I will definitely make these again when I want to make an impression at party or when I want my husband to eat all the food on his plate. :)

Serves: 10 pieces
Estimated Cost: $8
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large chicken breast, shredded
1 cup four cheese spaghetti sauce
2 cup of shredded sharp cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
20 wonton wrappers

Preparations:

Preheat oven to 370F
Cook chicken pieces in a medium pan over medium heat until golden brown
Add four cheese spaghetti sauce, mix well
Grease a 10 cup muffin tin and put 2 wonton wrappers in each cup
Put a tablespoon of shredded cheese into each of the muffin cup.
Add a tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the cheese filles cup
Sprinkle the top with another layer of cheese
Bake for 15 minutes until the wonton wrappers have a crispy brown color to them
Cool for a couple of minutes and serve

Husband Says: "Like the wifey says, they are cute. But cute don't count so much for me as IS IT GOOD? And yes, I can vouch that these AWE SO CUTE KAWAII CUTE CUTE! cupcake lasagna cup thingies are indeed delish. I ate all three on my plate much to the pleasure of my wife. I don't always eat everything, not because I don't like the food, but because, well...I'm just weird like that. Will definitely eat these again. Loved the wonton wrapping as well. Added a nice crispiness that I hadn't had with lasagna before. Score another cooking victory for Carmen in her Kitchen."

	Very creative Carmen! There are a lot of appetizers out there but very few have the wonderful flavors as this. I love that you used chicken instead of sausage or beef. I am not surprised that they were a hit at your house. Saving this one-yum!

	I was wondering Why I did not see any of your recipe on my blog dashboard. I realized my mistake that I never clicked Done after joining yours. I saw these lovely cups on Google and then came here.
