Disclosure: Today I’m sharing a fun Wonton Cup Appetizer made with Tyson Ground Chicken. This is a sponsored post for the Collective Bias® Social Fabric Community. Insights and opinions are all mine!

With the biggest holiday season of the year just around the corner (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year) I am always on the lookout for simple recipes to serve as appetizers at gatherings for friends. 

This recipe came to my mind as a combination of another family favorite. We love to make Sausage Roll Ups which are composed of sausage and cream cheese rolled up in half bread slices and wrapped in bacon.

My DIY husband loves bacon. He thinks it’s a food group all by itself, but as his dutiful wife I try to make bacon more of a once in a while addition, not a daily consumption. 

This recipe is so simple and much healthier than the sausage and bacon combination. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tyson ground chicken was delicious. I enjoyed the taste so much more than ground turkey, which is what we use the majority of the time. The price was very reasonable, and we all loved the way the appetizer turned out.

 First I sprayed some oil and greased the muffin tins.

I started cooking the ground chicken

After the ground chicken was browned I drained off the excess grease.

I then mixed the 8 oz. softened cream cheese into the ground chicken mixture.

 I also added salsa to some of the wonton cups and only meat mixture to others.

 The wonton cups only have to cook for 7 minutes or so at 350 degrees, just until edges are lightly browned.

 I even served these to my family as the main course that night with a salad on the side.

    number of distinguishing features between these two most
    common web hosting solution. This is probably one the reasons why this type of hosting
    is getting more popular nowadays.
