One of my favorite types of food to cook is elegant little bite-sized appetizers. I imagine them being handed out on trays at a classy event and snacked on between interesting conversations. These wonton bites fit the bill perfectly. Light, delicate food, pretty presentation, and you can eat the bowl – what more could you ask for? You can find these fresh wonton wrappers at any grocery store. This is also a great way to use up any leftover chicken you may have hanging out in the fridge. Make these for your next event and impress your friends with your elegant food style!
