Instructions
Prepare the Wonton Shells
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray the wonton wrappers lightly with cooking spray or brush them with olive or canola oil.
- Drape the wrappers over the edges of a 9×13 baking dish to form a shell and bake for 7-8 minutes, checking closely to avoid burning.
- Once the edges start to brown, take them out of the oven and carefully pull the wonton shells apart while they are still pliable to make filling easier.
- Return the wonton shells to the oven and bake for another 7-8 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Cook the Chicken Filling
- In a large bowl, mix the diced chicken with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat and sauté the chicken mixture for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Prepare the Coleslaw
- In another bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Toss until everything is well coated.
Assemble the Tacos
- Once the chicken is ready, fill each wonton shell with the chicken mixture.
- Top with a generous spoonful of coleslaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
