Better-Than-Applebee's Chicken Wonton Taco
Description
This recipe starts by shaping wonton wrappers over metal taco stands to form crispy taco shells baked until golden and bubbly. The filling consists of diced chicken breast cooked with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and fresh grated ginger for a savory, slightly sweet Asian flavor profile. The slaw blends coleslaw mix, crumbled dry ramen noodles, chopped green onions, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, adding crispness and tang.
Assembly involves spooning the cooked chicken into the baked wonton shells, topping with the Asian slaw, then drizzling sweet chili sauce and sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish. The result is a handheld taco with a crisp shell, tender flavorful chicken, and refreshing slaw contrast.
This dish is well suited for casual meals, appetizer parties, or as an inventive twist on traditional tacos that blends Asian and American flavors.
Ingredients
Wonton Taco Shells
- 16 wonton wrappers
- cooking spray nonstick
Chicken
- 2 chicken breast diced into 1/2-inch cubes, boneless skinless
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated
Asian Slaw
- 1/2 bag coleslaw mix
- 1 cup ramen noodles dry, crumbled
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
Toppings
- 1 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and place 4 metal taco stands on a large baking sheet, with 3 corners of each stand pointing upright.
- Drape the wonton wrappers over the taco stands so that each wonton forms a taco shape. Gently spray each wonton wrapper with nonstick cooking spray and place the baking sheet in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and have a bubbled crust.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine all the ingredients for the chicken. Toss well and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pan and discard any excess sauce.
- Place all the ingredients for the Asian slaw into a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.
- To assemble the tacos, place 1 or 2 spoonfuls of chicken into the bottom of each wonton shell. Top with the slaw mix. Add the sweet chili sauce, sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and any other desired toppings before serving.
