Asian Chicken Wantons

I threw these together at the last minute tonight, trying to use up the leftover wrappers from our Miso soup recipe, and they turned out surprisingly well.

I chopped up one thawed chicken breast into medium sized chunks and put it into the food processor along with a couple tablespoons of diced green onion, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, salt/pepper, and a few dashes each of soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. After a few pulses I spooned the mixture onto the wonton wrappers and folder/sealed them over the top. A couple minutes in some oil over medium heat and the chicken was cooked and the wonton wrappers crispy. (make sure the chicken cooks before the wrappers get too dark) Dipped in some tempura dipping sauce or some sweet & sour sauce and they were pretty darn good.
