Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 2 chicken breasts, finely diced
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
Slaw
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (for slaw)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (for slaw)
- 1 tbsp honey
For the Tacos
- 16 wonton wrappers
- Sweet chili sauce, for serving
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray the back of a muffin tin with cooking spray. Drape wonton wrappers over inverted muffin cups to form taco shells. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the wrappers are crisp and golden.
- Cook chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
- Glaze chicken: Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger with the chicken. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is fully coated and glazed.
- Prepare slaw: In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Assemble tacos: Fill each baked wonton shell with the glazed chicken. Top generously with the prepared slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, then garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately: For the best crunch, serve the tacos right after assembling to keep the wonton shells crisp and flavorful.
Notes
- For extra spice, add sriracha to the chicken mixture or drizzle it over the tacos before serving.
- Swap hoisin sauce for teriyaki sauce if you prefer a milder, sweeter flavor profile.
- Keep the shells crispy by filling them just before serving; assembling them ahead may cause sogginess.
