Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken Filling:
- 1 lb chicken breast, finely diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- For the Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded coleslaw mix
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the Wonton Tacos:
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray or oil for brushing
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the outside of an inverted muffin tin.
- Press wonton wrappers between muffin cups to form taco shells. Lightly spray with oil.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until fully cooked and lightly golden.
- Stir in teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until glazed. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, mix coleslaw, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, honey, and salt until well combined.
- Fill each wonton shell with chicken, top with slaw, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately for maximum crunch.
Notes
- Best served immediately for maximum crunch.
- For a spicier kick, add a drizzle of sriracha to the slaw.
- To make ahead, keep the chicken filling and slaw separate and assemble just before serving to maintain crisp shells.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free wonton wrappers and gluten-free teriyaki sauce (not guaranteed in this recipe).
