Chicken Tikka Masala Wontons

I love my CTM pizza I do on the Roccbox.  For awhile I’ve been thinking about how to turn that into some kind of appetizer.  

Some of you may remember the Pulled Pork Pillows I did a few years ago.  Sort of an open-faced eggroll type deal.  These were very similar.

First I made the tikka masala sauce, but instead of large chunks of chicken breast, I used pulled chicken:




It makes it into almost a paste, which is easier to put into the wontons.  Or stuff into anything really.  This stuff would probably make for some kick-butt enchiladas!

Anyway... I digress.  I pre-baked the wontons in muffin pans for about ten minutes at 350F.  That crisps them up a bit so they’re less likely to turn out soggy:



Then I stuffed them with the chicken tikka masala paste and topped them with some mozzarella cheese and a couple different types of onions.  I tried grilled, diced and fried onions.  



Then into the BGE for another ten minutes at 350.  These don’t take long at all.  Garnished with cilantro and a squeeze of lime (hat tip to @caliking for the suggestion):



Verdict: these are delicious.  Ton of flavor, and just the right amount of heat. The consensus was that the grilled onions were the best, although really it’s not as big a difference there as I thought it might be.  I did some of these in the oven too, and what’s interesting is that you do pick up a hint of smoke from the Egg, even though they’re only in there for ten minutes.  That part definitely makes a difference. 

Next time I’ll probably use a low moisture skim mozzarella rather than the fresh stuff, as the latter is just a little too moist.  But I made a ton of these for our family of four tonight and there were zero leftovers.

Thanks for looking!
