Ingredients
For the Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
For the Slaw:
2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp honey
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
For Assembly:
12 wonton wrappers
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
In a bowl, marinate sliced chicken with teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, toss coleslaw mix with green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and remaining 1/2 tbsp sesame oil. Set aside.
In a shallow pan, lightly fry wonton wrappers in oil for 20–30 seconds per side, shaping them into taco shells while crisping. Drain on paper towels.
Fill each crispy wonton shell with cooked chicken and slaw mixture.
Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
Fry wontons carefully and shape them while hot for the best taco shell shape.
Chicken can be grilled or air-fried as a lighter option.
For added crunch, top with crushed peanuts or fried onions.
