Description

Ingredients
•
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
50 wonton wrappers
•
3 (12 fluid ounce) bottles tzatziki sauce
•
2 (8 ounce) packages feta cheese, crumbled
•
1 egg
•
1 tablespoon water
•
vegetable oil for frying
Directions
1
Place chicken breasts in a pot; cover with 1 inch water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
2
Drain chicken and cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut into small cubes.
3
Place chicken cubes in a blender; blend until easily scooped with a tablespoon.
4
Lay wonton wrappers on a flat work surface. Brush 1 teaspoon tzatziki sauce over the center of each wrapper. Top with 1 teaspoon chicken and 1 teaspoon feta cheese. Fold over and seal edges.
5
Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush over top of wontons.
6
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry wontons in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
