Welcome, Sunday! My favorite day of the week! Until 5:00 pm rolls around and I remember that Monday is only a few hours away… then, Sunday, I don’t like you as much. Thorry. But, tomorrow most of us are off, so I will like you for an added few hours!
Hey, Friends! What’s going on?! How’s your weekend going?
My weekend would be WAY better if this weather would just behave. Barely 60 degrees and it’s almost June. Unheard of! And it better not rain on Memorial Day! I seriously don’t feel like moving my grill inside. No, I don’t have a plan B. If it rains, the grill is coming with me. Inside.
The only thing I have already prepared are these Chunky Chicken Salad Cups. They are sittin’ pretty in the fridge ready to be devoured. I’m surprised my husband hasn’t attacked them, yet. He always does. I guess this time he really listened. YAY for hubby!
You know how I love appetizers, right? You didn’t know?! Oh gurrrl, I looove me some apps. I could live on ’em! I’m especially fond of those appetizers that can be made with leftovers. Few years back I made this particular Chicken Salad with some leftover chicken breasts. For some odd reason, chicken, pickles, mushrooms, and sour cream sounded SO good to me, and no, I wasn’t pregnant. But, I am so glad I did go with the idea because this salad is heavenly! It’s creamy, it’s crunchy, and incredibly tasty.
In fact, when I go to a BBQ, this is the salad that I am asked to bring 90% of the time. The other 10% is reserved for dessert.
If you have some time, make it for your BBQ party! I’m pretty sure you’ll love it! I am also sharing this recipe with the uber-talented Kim from A Night Owl Blog.
BUT, before you do that, you need to enter this awesome Giveaway for a $100.00 Gift Card to YOUR CHOICE of World Market, Target, Homegoods or Anthropologie! GOOD LUCK! GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

Megan @ MegUnprocessed says
What a fun idea and easier way to feed a crowd!

Shadi HasanzadeNemati says
I love how easy this recipe is and how you use sour cream instead of tons of mayo! I love my chicken salad with sour cream, too!
SJ says
Can you make the wonton cups a day ahead of time and then fill the day of party?
Sue says
Can anyone tell me if the wonton cups get soggy with the chicken salad in them? Thinking of making them for a get together tomorrow night, but it seems like if I made them ahead of time the cups would get soggy.
Katerina Petrovska says
Hi Sue! If you leave the chicken salad inside for too long, the bottoms will definitely get a bit soggy. If possible, I would just wait to fill the wonton cups with the chicken salad until it was a bit closer to serving time.
Sue says
Thanks very much!

Sheila Shealey says
I could find something great in any of those stores, but Target is the closest to me!
s says
I’m broke, so wherever I can get the most bang for my buck is where I’d choose!
Probably Target, since I could get ice cream *or* an ice-cream maker, depending on how lazy I feel when I win! 😀
Just teasing. I’ve already got the $100 planned out – I need a nice heavy-bottomed soup pot to replace the thin hand-me-down I’m using!
Thanks for the chance!
Katerina Petrovska says
Sounds like you have a plan!! 😉 GOOD LUCK!!!
Heather A says
Target! 🙂
Susan P says
Target! It has everything!
Heather @ Sugar Dish Me says
World Market!!!
If I chose Target I would probably buy boring things like laundry soap and awesome sprinkles. Wait, what?
Still World Market though.
Sometimes they have awesome sprinkles, too.

Wonderful use of leftover chicken and wonton skins. 🙂 I’ve only used the wontons as shells to deliver caramelized apple and lemon curd.
