Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil, divided

  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 12 wonton wrappers

  • Oil, for frying

  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken
    In a bowl, combine the chicken, teriyaki sauce, ½ tablespoon sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

  • Cook the Chicken
    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • Prepare the Slaw
    In a separate bowl, toss the coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and remaining sesame oil until well combined.

  • Crisp the Wonton Wrappers
    Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Fry the wonton wrappers for 20–30 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  • Assemble the Tacos
    Fill each crispy wonton wrapper with cooked chicken and a spoonful of coleslaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce.

  • Garnish and Serve
    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while crispy.

Notes

  • Save time: Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix for quicker prep.

  • Baking option: Bake wonton wrappers at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes if avoiding frying.

  • Extra crunch: Assemble tacos just before serving to keep wrappers crispy.

  • Adjust sweetness: Add more or less sweet chili sauce to suit your taste.

  • Protein swap: This recipe also works well with shrimp or tofu.
