Making ahead of time

If you want to make the baked wonton cups ahead of time, simply cook them and allow to cool before placing them in an air tight container. They should remain crispy and fresh for several days.
You can also make the chicken salad a day or two ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to stir it well before adding it to the wonton cups, as some of the liquid may separate.

 

Tips

To prevent the wonton cups from getting soggy, place a washed, dried lettuce leaf in the bottom of each one before adding the chicken salad.
