A crunchy, bite-sized fusion of teriyaki chicken and tangy slaw served in crispy baked wonton shells, perfect for parties or quick dinners.

Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 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

Additional Ingredients:

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Add sliced chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Bake the Wonton Shells: Preheat oven to 375°F. Drape wonton wrappers over the back of a muffin tin to form taco shells. Bake for 7–9 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes until cooked through and caramelized. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the Slaw: In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix, green onions, remaining 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce (optional here), and honey. Toss to combine.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each crispy wonton shell with chicken, top with slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade for extra spice.
  • Swap chicken for shrimp, tofu, or turkey.
  • Include extras like mango, red pepper, or jalapeño in the slaw.
  • Top with spicy mayo or garlic aioli for a creamy finish.
