Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling
  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Substitute with shrimp, ground pork, or tofu for variations.
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki sauce Use homemade teriyaki or sweet soy sauce if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil (divided) Skip for nut allergies and use coconut oil instead.
  • 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce Tamari works great for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh is best, but garlic powder can work in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated) Ground ginger could suffice if you’re out of fresh.
For the Slaw
  • 4 cups Coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots) Feel free to add extra veggies like bell peppers.
  • 1/4 cup Green onions (thinly sliced) Can be replaced with fresh herbs if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a good alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey For a vegan option, substitute with maple syrup.
For the Tacos
  • 12 pieces Wonton wrappers Spring roll wrappers or baking can be a healthier choice.
  • 1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce Mix in a bit of sriracha for extra spice if you like.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds For garnish.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped cilantro Omit if you're not a fan or replace with parsley.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine boneless, skinless chicken breasts with teriyaki sauce, ½ tablespoon sesame oil, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until golden.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with thinly sliced green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and the remaining ½ tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. In a deep pan, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat and fry each wonton wrapper for 20-30 seconds per side until golden brown.
  5. Fill each crispy wonton wrapper with the cooked chicken and slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.
