Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce low-sodium
  • 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
For the Slaw
  • 14 oz coleslaw mix 1 bag
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 0.5 tbsp sesame oil
For Assembly
  • 16-20 square wonton wrappers
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • sweet chili sauce for drizzling
  • sesame seeds for garnish
  • fresh cilantro optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Small saucepan for frying
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through with no pink remaining.
  3. In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix and green onions. Whisk together rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil, then toss with the slaw. Set aside.
  4. Heat ½ inch of vegetable oil in a small saucepan to 350°F. Fry wonton wrappers one at a time for 20-30 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. To assemble, place chicken in a crispy wonton shell, top with slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Assemble tacos right before serving to keep wontons crispy. Chicken can be marinated up to 4 hours ahead. Fried wontons stay crispy for several hours if stored in a single layer at room temperature. Don't stack them or seal in containers.
