Equipment

  • 1 12 count muffin tin

Ingredients

  • 24 wonton wrappers

Ground Chicken Mixture

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup water chestnuts (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup carrots (hand shredded or store bought)
  • 3 tbsp green onion (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger (fresh or paste)
  • 1 tsp garlic (fresh or minced)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Chinese five spice

Toppings

  • hoisin sauce
  • green onion
  • cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray. Place 2 overlapping wonton wrappers in muffin pan, so corners are all facing opposite directions. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine filling ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Using a 2 tbsp cookie scooper (or by the spoonful if you don't have one), add about 2 tbsp of filling to each muffin tin. If leftovers remain, disperse evenly amongst cups.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit and wonton wrappers are golden brown.
  • Allow cups to sit in muffin tin for about 10 minutes before removing, topping, and serving.
  • Top finished banh mi cups with a drizzle of hoisin, and a sprinkle of green onion and cilantro. Enjoy!
