LOVE LETTERS 
2 c. shredded cooked chicken
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies, drained
4 lg. green onions, finely chopped
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Dash each garlic powder and onion powder
Dash of salt
1 (16 oz.) wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying

Combine chicken, chilies, green onions, cheese, garlic, and onion powders and salt in medium size bowl; mix well.

Place a wrapper on counter with one corner facing toward you. Put about 1 teaspoon chicken mixture slightly below center of wrapper and fold bottom corner up. Fold sides in, points overlapping. Wet edges to seal. Fold final corner down, to resemble an envelope. Wet edges slightly to seal. Repeat with remaining chicken and wrappers.

Deep fry a few at a time, until golden and crispy around edges. Drain on paper towel; serve hot.

NOTE: Love Letters are good plain, but they are also good served with sour cream and/or sweet-sour sauce.

These freeze beautifully. To prevent sticking, spread uncooked wontons on cookie sheets and set in freezer just until hard. Do not thaw before frying. If desired, they can be fried several hours before guests arrive; simply reheat at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes.
