Crispy Chicken Wontons

1-8 oz package cream cheese at room temperature
2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded)
1/8 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1-16oz package wonton wrappers
vegetable oil

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, chicken, bread crumbs, salt and garlic. If you like, you can also add finely chopped peppers or onions at this point. Mix ingredients thoroughly. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of one wonton wrapper. Moisten one side of wonton wrapper with water (keep a small dish of water next to your work station) using your finger or a pastry brush. Fold wonton along the diagonal into a triangle and press edges to seal. Repeat until filling is completely used. In a deep saute pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat (approximately 350). Fry filled wontons until golden, approximately 2 minutes. You can usually fry about 10 at a time. Drain well on paper towels. Serve with spicy mustard or sweet and sour sauce.

Yield: 20-30 wontons
