Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
¼ cup teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
For the Slaw:
2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp honey
Other:
12 wonton wrappers
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
In a medium bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, ½ tbsp sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Add sliced chicken and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Bake Wonton Shells:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Drape wonton wrappers over the back of a muffin tin to form taco shells. Bake for 7–9 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Let cool.
Cook Chicken:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add remaining ½ tbsp sesame oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes, or until fully cooked and caramelized. Set aside.
Prepare Slaw:
In a bowl, toss together the coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, and honey. Optional: add a splash of soy sauce for extra umami.
Assemble Tacos:
Fill each crispy wonton shell with a portion of chicken, top with slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
Notes
For heat, add sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Swap chicken for shrimp, tofu, or turkey for variation.
Customize the slaw with mango, red bell pepper, or jalapeño.
Top with spicy mayo or garlic aioli for a creamy kick.
