01
Step 1
Start by placing the chicken breasts in a pot and covering them with about an inch of water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 10 to 14 minutes until the chicken is cooked through—no pink in the middle. You can check with a thermometer if you like; it should read 165°F (74°C).

Step 2
Once done, drain the chicken and let it cool for a few minutes until you can handle it easily. Cut it into small cubes, then pop them into a blender and pulse until the chicken is finely chopped but still easy to scoop with a spoon.

Step 3
Lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spread about a teaspoon of tzatziki sauce in the center of each, then add a teaspoon of the chopped chicken and a teaspoon of feta cheese on top. Fold the wrapper over to seal the edges, pressing gently to make sure they stick.

Step 4
Beat together the egg and water in a small bowl, then brush this mixture over the tops of the wontons.

Step 5
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in small batches for about 2 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Drain them on paper towels before serving.

How to serve
Serve with a side of tzatziki or a tangy yogurt dip to complement the flavors. They also pair well with a fresh salad or a light lemon vinaigrette. Great for parties or casual gatherings.
