Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
02 - 2 Tablespoons teriyaki sauce
03 - 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
04 - 1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
05 - 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

→ Asian Slaw

07 - 1 bag coleslaw mix
08 - 1/4 cup green onions, diced
09 - 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
10 - 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
11 - 1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
12 - 1 Tablespoon honey

→ Shell & Toppings

13 - 16 wonton wrappers
14 - Sweet chili sauce for drizzling
15 - Sesame seeds for garnish
16 - Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
17 - Olive oil for cooking chicken

# Instructions:

01 - Slice chicken breasts into long thin strips. Place in a medium bowl with teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Toss until chicken is well coated. Cover, refrigerate, and allow to marinate for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can place all ingredients in a large ziplock bag.
02 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Turn a muffin tin upside down. Place a wonton wrapper between two of the muffin cups to create a 'V' shape, with two opposing points resting on top of the wells. Bake for 7-9 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove from oven once golden and crisp. You may need to bake wrappers in batches.
03 - Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and sauté, tossing frequently until fully cooked through. Remove from heat.
04 - In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and diced green onions. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey to make the dressing. Pour over the coleslaw mixture and toss until well combined.
05 - Take each baked wonton shell and fill with a layer of cooked chicken. Top with Asian slaw and drizzle with sweet chili sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro.
06 - Serve immediately while shells are still crisp and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - This is a copycat version of Applebee's popular Chicken Wonton Tacos appetizer.
02 - The wonton shells can become soft quickly after filling, so it's best to assemble right before serving.
03 - For a spicier version, add sriracha to the sweet chili sauce or include red pepper flakes in the chicken marinade.
