Pollo Fundido Wontons

Made with 100% chicken breast, our traditional Pollo Deshebrado follows our family recipe. Fully cooked in its own juices and lightly seasoned with a traditional blend of spices. A convenient, ready-in-minutes, authentic meal.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Heat Del Real Foods® Shredded Chicken according to package directions and drain excess liquids. Add softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to chicken. Melt butter in small skillet and add diced jalapeño, cooking for 2-3 minutes over medium/low heat, remove from heat and add to chicken and cream cheese. Add scallions to chicken and cream cheese and mix everything together. Lay wonton wrappers in a single layer on a cookie sheet and spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of chicken mixture in the center of each wonton, repeat until all wontons have filling. With a wet fingertip moisten 2 sides of each wonton and fold corner to corner creating sealed triangular shaped pillows. Be sure the filling stays within the wonton. Repeat until all wontons are done. Heat coconut oil over medium/high heat in a large frying pan. Test your oil for readiness by dipping the back end of a wooden spoon into hot oil. If bubbles form it is hot enough to start frying. Carefully drop each wonton into pan, minding not to splash hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. You will need to do this in batches. Flip wontons when golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side). Once both sides are golden and crispy remove from oil and allow to rest on a paper towel lines dish. Continue until all wontons are done. Place in a preheated oven to keep warm while you make the spicy queso for dipping. Serve with spicy queso and enjoy!
