Ingredients

• 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup (cooked or thawed if using frozen) Corn kernels
• 0.5 cup (rinsed and drained) Black beans
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions), chopped
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes or strips.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, add the cubed chicken.

Step 4

Season the chicken with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Step 5

Drizzle the lime juice over the cooked chicken and remove it from the heat. Let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.

Step 6

Place wonton wrappers into each muffin cup, pressing them gently to form a cup shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to lightly crisp them.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, corn kernels, black beans, diced tomatoes, scallions, and chopped cilantro. Mix well.

Step 8

Spoon the filling mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup, distributing it evenly.

Step 9

Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the wonton cups are golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Step 10

Remove the chicken flowers from the oven and let them cool slightly in the muffin tin before transferring them to a serving plate.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Pvw S Southwest Chicken Flowers!
