Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 24–well mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Press wonton squares into each well, spray lightly, and bake for 10–12 minutes until crisp and golden. Cool completely.
Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine chicken, purple cabbage, Napa cabbage, bok choy, carrot, green onions, and cilantro.
If serving immediately, mix in 2 tablespoons of the peanut dressing and half the crushed peanuts. Toss gently to coat.
Spoon salad mixture into cooled wonton cups.
Drizzle with extra dressing and top with remaining crushed peanuts.
Serve right away while wonton cups are crisp.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Store wonton cups and salad separately; assemble just before serving.
Customize heat by adjusting the amount of sriracha.
Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
Double the recipe for larger gatherings with ease.
