Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat two 6-cup muffin pans with no stick cooking spray. Press 1 wonton square into each cup. Lightly coat squares with cooking spray. Bake 7 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool in pan; remove and set aside
Place chicken, onion, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce and seasonings in medium bowl; toss to coat. Cover. Refrigerate 15 minutes to marinate.
Heat large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken mixture with marinade; cook 7 to 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in spinach; cook 1 minute. Drain liquid from pan.
For the Vanilla Apricot Sauce, mix apricot jam, orange juice, vanilla, saigon cinnamon, and ground ginger in small microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until warm.
