Easy and hearty, Crack Wontons are a two-bite appetizer recipe of wontons that are filled with creamy, flavorful Crack Chicken.
My family loves Crock Pot Crack Chicken. It tastes amazing and is so easy to make. What’s not to love?
It’s versatile too. When I needed a hearty appetizer, I immediately thought of doing something with Crack Chicken flavors.
These cups made with wonton wrappers are filled with a whole lot of goodness!
Crack Wontons
Crack Wontons uses ingredients you love and probably already have in your pantry. I used rotisserie chicken,
Then you’ll bake until they’re heated through and the cheese is nice and melted and bubbly.

- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or chopped
- 1 and 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese reserve 1/2 cup for top
- 5 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 envelope (2 tablespoons) Ranch dressing dry mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- chopped green onions for garnish
Crack Wontons
- I like to use a mixture of Colby cheese and cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese is oily. Using a combination keeps these from being so greasy. You may use all cheddar or whatever cheese you have on hand.
- Leftover chicken (boiled, baked, or grilled) is excellent for this recipe. However, to make prep time easier if you don’t have leftover chicken, purchase a rotisserie chicken. I would get the traditional flavor.
- Garlic powder and red pepper flakes added more flavor and heat to the recipe.
- You will have wonton wrappers left over from this recipe. Try making Sloppy Joe Wonton Cups, Bacon Cream Cheese Stuffed Wontons, Layered Sweet and Sour Asian Dip with Fried Wonton Dippers, or Easy Pot Stickers.
