Quick Recipe Tips

  • These days, I prefer to keep packages of frozen mini wontons on hand.  I found them in the freezer section at Trader Joe’s. But you may find them in the freezer section of your local supermarket.
  • These mini wontons come in a variety of packages filled with cabbage, chicken, and even mixed veggies.
  • Plus, they’re not expensive at all; they cost around $4.50 to $5.50 per bag.
  • Mini wontons are convenient to pull out when you need a quick appetizer before dinner, or just when you need to drop them into a pot of soup, as I did here.
  • Serve with any of our 11 Easy Chicken Skillet Dinners, or Chicken Cauliflower Rice Stir-Fry as the main course, and enjoy a fabulous dinner!

  1. Haven’t made it yet. But it’s just me & my husband. Don’t eat a lot except for breakfast (our biggest meal). We’re 72 & 73 we don’t get really hungry during the day. So if u can send us some easy dishes for two, I would appreciate it.

    1. Hi Kathy! And, welcome to our recipe blog, it’s so nice to meet you! I will take a look in our archives and send you some easy recipes for two people. Keep in mind, all of our recipes are freezable for future lunch and dinners. We prefer not to cook every day, so most of our recipes are for servings of 4 or more, with the idea to freeze leftovers for the following weeks. I hope this helps!

  2. I loved this recipe even though I made a few changes. I pre-cooked my Mirepoix (Onions, carrots, & celery) to sweeten them a little before adding the Chicken broth and garlic, and simmering for 6 minutes. Then I used Sesame oil insted of Olive oil to add to the broth right brfore adding the mini wontons and cabbage. Then right before serving I add gold and white corn and top with green onions and sweet chili sauce.

    1. Mickey! That sounds awesome! And, thanks so much! We love your spin to our wonton soup recipe. Sounds Fabulous! Happy Cooking and have a great weekend! 🙂

  3. I’ve been making this with Costco chicken wontons ever since you first posted it 🙂 Love a quick and delicious meal on a busy day!

  4. Yum – I bet that is a great dinner. We don't have Trader Joe's but I'll look around and see if I can find these mini's. You are a good mom – now she can find the recipe anytime she needs it!

    1. Oh Tricia thank you ! I try to show them the way, and pray it will pay off. I hope you will find these mini wontons they are fantastic. I even made them in a skillet with some garlic and soy sauce and served them with some sweet chili dipping sauce. Everyone loved them.
