Crispy Greek Wontons: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Dish

Ingredients

• 3 boneless chicken breasts without skin
• 50 delicate wonton wrappers
• 3 bottles of tzatziki sauce in 12 fluid ounces each
• 2 packages of crumbled feta cheese in 8-ounce portions
• A single egg
• A tablespoon of water
• Vegetable oil for frying

Step 1

Start by placing the chicken breasts in a pot and covering them with water, ensuring there is a 1-inch depth. Allow the water to come to a boil before reducing the heat and letting it simmer with the lid on until the chicken is fully cooked, usually around 10 to 14 minutes. To check if it's done, use a thermometer - it should show a minimum of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted at the center.

Step 2

Once the chicken is cooked, drain it and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes until it's easy to handle. Proceed by cutting it into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Now, transfer the chicken cubes into a blender and blend them until you achieve a texture that can be easily scooped with a tablespoon.

Step 4

Next, lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Brush each wrapper's center with a teaspoon of tzatziki sauce. Add a teaspoon of the blended chicken and another teaspoon of crumbled feta cheese on top. Fold over the wrapper and seal the edges securely.

Step 5

Prepare an egg wash by whisking an egg with a bit of water in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the top of the assembled wontons.

Step 6

In a deep-fryer or a large saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the wontons in batches until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which usually takes about 2 minutes per batch. Once done, let them drain on paper towels before serving.
