Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips
02 - 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
03 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
04 - 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
05 - 2 tsp freshly minced garlic
06 - 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

→ Slaw

07 - 1 bag of pre-shredded coleslaw
08 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
09 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
10 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
11 - 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
12 - 1 tbsp honey

→ Shell & Garnishes

13 - 16 wrappers made from wonton dough
14 - Sweet chili sauce for drizzling on top
15 - Sesame seeds for decoration
16 - Chopped cilantro for extra flavor
17 - Olive oil for cooking the chicken

# Instructions:

01 - Cut your chicken into strips. In a bowl, mix it with teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir so it's all coated, cover, and chill it in the fridge for an hour. You can also use a zip-top bag if that’s easier.
02 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. Flip a muffin tin over so the bottoms are facing up. Lay a wrapper between two muffin cups in a 'V' shape, letting it balance on the edges. Bake them for 7-9 minutes, keeping an eye so they don’t burn. Remove when they’ve crisped up and turned golden. Repeat with remaining wrappers if needed.
03 - Warm up a large pan on medium heat, then add a splash of olive oil. Toss in the soaked chicken and stir it regularly until it's fully cooked. Set it aside when done.
04 - Dump your coleslaw mix and green onions into a big bowl. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey together to make dressing. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss everything together.
05 - Grab a cooked shell, layer it with chicken, and then add the slaw on top. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and finish with some cilantro.
06 - Serve them up right away while the shells are still crispy and dig in!

# Notes:

01 - This is inspired by Applebee's Chicken Wonton Tacos.
02 - Keep in mind that the wonton shells soften once filled, so put them together just before serving.
03 - Like it spicier? Add a dash of sriracha to your chili sauce, or toss in red pepper flakes when marinating your chicken.
