Crispy Chicken Tacos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into thin strips
02 - 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger
06 - 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic

→ Veggie Slaw

07 - 1 pack of slaw mix
08 - 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions
09 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
11 - 1 tablespoon honey
12 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)

→ Wrappers & Garnishes

13 - 16 wonton wrappers
14 - Cilantro, freshly chopped for topping
15 - Sweet chili sauce for drizzling
16 - Sesame seeds to sprinkle
17 - Olive oil for sautéing chicken

# Instructions:

01 - Cut the chicken into thin slices. Toss it into a bowl and mix with teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir until coated. Cover it up and chill it in the fridge for about an hour. Alternatively, you can add everything to a zip-top bag and shake it around.
02 - Set your oven to heat at 375°F (190°C). Flip a muffin tin upside down and drape the wrappers over the gaps between the cups to form a 'V'. Bake in the oven for 7-9 minutes, keeping an eye out to avoid burning. Remove once the wrappers are crisp and golden. You might need to bake in rounds.
03 - Grab a big pan and heat it on medium. Add a dash of olive oil. Once it’s warm, toss in the marinated chicken and stir it around until cooked all the way through. Take it off the stove.
04 - Combine the slaw mix and chopped green onions in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until it blends. Pour it over the slaw mix and gently toss until every piece is coated.
05 - Grab a baked shell, fill it up with cooked chicken first, then add a scoop of the slaw. Drizzle with chili sauce and finish with some cilantro and sesame seeds on top.
06 - Dig in right away while the shells are still perfectly crispy.

# Notes:

01 - This imitates the Chicken Wonton Tacos dish served at Applebee’s.
02 - Once filled, the wontons can turn soft quickly. Make sure to fill them just before eating.
03 - Turn up the heat by mixing sriracha into the chili sauce or tossing red pepper flakes into the marinade.
