Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- While the oven is heating, combine cream cheese, green onions, chicken, cheese, Pace® Salsa Verde and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Fill a small bowl with tap water.
- Start assembling wontons by setting out 6 wonton wrappers at a time (place a damp paper towel over any wrappers you are not working with to prevent them from drying out). Fill each wonton wrapper with a heaping teaspoon of filling. Dip your fingers in water and run them along the edges of the wrapper. Bring the corners of the wrapper together and press along the seams to seal the filling inside. (Note: Don't worry if these aren't perfect - they'll still taste great!)
- Set assembled wontons on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a small amount of space between them. Continue until all of the wontons are filled.
- Spray the tops of the wontons with nonstick cooking spray (this will help them to crisp and turn golden).
- Bake until wontons are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Serve with extra salsa of choice for dipping. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right wonton wrappers. Thicker wrappers will hold up better when filled and cooked. Look for wonton wrappers that are about 3 inches square.
- Don't overfill the wontons. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and cook evenly.
- Seal the wontons tightly. Use your fingers or a fork to press the edges of the wonton wrappers together firmly. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Cook the wontons in batches. Don't overcrowd the pot or pan. Cook the wontons in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
- Serve the wontons immediately. Wontons are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce.
