Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine cubed chicken, shredded carrot, chopped parsley, garlic, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
2
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each wonton skin in half diagonally to create two triangles. Arrange the wonton triangles in a single layer on two large ungreased baking sheets. Lightly spray the wontons with cooking spray, and if desired, sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for about 6 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Allow to cool completely.
3
In a small saucepan, whisk together brown sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper sauce (if using). Cook over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
4
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened Neufchâtel cheese and milk together until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly on a serving platter that is at least 10 inches in diameter.
5
Once the chicken mixture has chilled and the sauce has cooled, spoon the chicken topping over the cream cheese layer. Drizzle the thick sauce over the chicken topping and finish by sprinkling with chopped cashews and sliced green onions.
