Recipe type: Main

Ingredients
Marinated Chicken:
  • 3 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 teaspoons dry sherry
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 cutlets), cut into approximately 32 (1-inch) squares
Wrappers:
  • 1 (12-ounce) package wonton wrappers
  • 2 cups peanut oil
Apricot Dipping Sauce:
  • 12 ounces apricot preserves
  • 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 4 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
Instructions
  1. Marinated Chicken:
  2. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, salt, garlic, sherry, cornstarch, vegetable oil, and soy sauce. Mix the chicken squares with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Wrappers:
  4. Lay the won ton wrappers in a single layer. Place 1 square of the marinated chicken in the center of the won ton wrapper. Dab a small amount of marinade on each of the corners. Fold the wonton over the chicken by bringing each of the corners to the center of the square, overlapping slightly, like a squared envelope.
  5. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet until hot. Cook the wonton wrapped chicken for about 2 minutes per side, turning once.
  6. Apricot Dipping Sauce:
  7. In a small bowl, blend the apricot preserves, mustard, and teriyaki sauce. Serve 4 wontons on each plate with the dipping sauce in the center.
  8. Yield: 8 servings
Notes
Note: Won tons may be fully prepared and frozen flat in a single layer and then put in plastic baggies for storage. To reheat, bake at 475 degrees for 10 minutes.
