Servings: 18 tacos
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
Tangy Coleslaw:
- 14 ounce bag of coleslaw mix
- 3 tablespoons green onions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Tacos:
- 18 Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sweet chili sauce for dipping
- chopped fresh cilantro for garnishing
- sesame seeds for garnishing
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger powder. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Asian Coleslaw:
- In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and sliced green onions. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, sea salt, and ground pepper until smooth. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Set aside.
Assemble the Tacos:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the wonton wrappers over the edge of a 9×13-inch pan and brush them with olive oil.
- Bake the wrappers for about 7 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and crispy, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve:
- Fill each baked wonton taco shell with a spoonful of the cooked chicken. Top with a generous amount of Tangy coleslaw.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
