Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 breasts chicken finely diced
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
Asian-inspired slaw
  • 397 g coleslaw
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
For tacos + toppings
  • 16 wonton wrappers
  • sweet chili sauce to serve
  • chopped cilantro to serve
  • sesame seeds to serve

Equipment

  • 9×13 Baking Dish
  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with a bit of olive/canola oil, then drape over the side of a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 7-8 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn. Take wonton shells out of the oven, then gently pull them apart while they are still pliable so that they are more easily filled with toppings. Bake another 7-8 minutes until crispy.
  2. Mix diced raw chicken in a large bowl with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Heat a large skillet over high heat and saute chicken for 7-8 minutes, tossing frequently until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, mix ingredients for coleslaw together in a large bowl.
  4. Add chicken mixture to wonton shells, then top with coleslaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the wontons are still crispy. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of sweet chili sauce.
