These Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos are a fun, flavour‑packed fusion of crispy wonton shells filled with teriyaki‑marinated chicken and tangy slaw, topped with sweet‑chili sauce, sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 tacos

Ingredients

  • Chicken breast (sliced)
  • Teriyaki sauce
  • Sesame oil
  • Low‑sodium soy sauce
  • Fresh garlic, minced
  • Fresh ginger, minced
  • Coleslaw mix
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Rice vinegar
  • Honey
  • Wonton wrappers
  • Sweet chili sauce (for topping)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the sliced chicken in teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and ginger for at least one hour.
  2. Pre‑heat the oven to 375 °F, and drape wonton wrappers over the backs of an up‑turned muffin tin to form taco‑shaped shells. Bake for 7‑9 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and caramelized.
  4. Meanwhile prepare the slaw: mix the coleslaw blend with green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and honey.
  5. Fill each crispy wonton shell with the cooked chicken, top with the slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add sriracha or chili flakes to the marinade or slaw.
  • Substitute shrimp or tofu for chicken for a different protein.
  • To keep shells crispy, assemble just before serving and store components separately if prepping ahead.
  • For gluten‑free: use gluten‑free soy/tamari and gluten‑free wonton wrappers (or lettuce wraps).
