Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Chips:
- 4 gluten-free egg roll wrappers
- Cooking spray
Hoisin Chicken:
- ½ cup Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce, divided
- ½ pound chicken, cooked and shredded
Dip Layers:
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce (used 2 tablespoons mixed with cream cheese and 1 tablespoon for drizzle)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup water chestnuts, chopped
- ⅓ cup purple cabbage, finely shredded
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Wonton Chips: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line two medium baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice each gluten-free egg roll wrapper into 4 squares, then diagonally slice each square to create 8 triangular wonton chips per wrapper. Arrange the chips on the baking sheets and spray with cooking spray. Bake on the center rack for 6-7 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Remove and allow to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Cook Hoisin Chicken: While the chips cool, heat ½ cup of gluten-free hoisin sauce in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded cooked chicken, stirring to coat and heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to let flavors meld and to chill.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine 16 ounces of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly blended. Spread or spoon this mixture evenly into a serving bowl as the first layer of the dip.
- Assemble the Dip: Layer the shredded hoisin chicken evenly over the cream cheese layer. Next, add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by chopped water chestnuts, shredded purple cabbage, chopped cilantro, and chopped roasted salted peanuts to create seven distinct layers.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce over the top of the assembled dip. Serve immediately with the homemade gluten-free wonton chips for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the egg roll wrappers are gluten-free to keep the recipe safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Cooked chicken can be prepared ahead of time or purchased pre-cooked for convenience.
- Refrigerating the hoisin chicken mixture helps deepen the flavors and cools the dip before assembly.
- You can substitute peanuts for other nuts or seeds if there is an allergy concern.
- Store any leftover dip covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
