Crunchy Asian-Style Chicken Tacos: A Flavor-Packed Fusion Masterpiece

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 bag coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup green onions, diced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 16 wonton wrappers
  • Sweet chili sauce, for topping
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: Start by combining the thinly sliced chicken with the teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully infuse the meat.

2. Prepare the Asian Slaw: In a large bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with the diced green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Give it a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated. Set the slaw aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.

3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked and lightly browned.

4. Make the Wonton Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the wonton wrappers on a baking sheet and lightly spray or brush them with oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the wonton shells are crispy and golden brown.

5. Assemble the Tacos: It’s time to bring it all together! Place the cooked chicken onto the crispy wonton shells, top with the Asian slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.

Notes

To ensure the best possible outcome, here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind:

Chicken Choice: While boneless, skinless chicken breasts work well, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a more tender and flavorful taco filling.

Sauce Variations: In addition to teriyaki, try using hoisin, ponzu, or even a homemade Asian-inspired marinade for a unique twist on the flavor profile.

Make-Ahead Potential: These Crunchy Asian-Style Chicken Tacos can be partially prepared in advance. Cook the chicken and prepare the slaw up to 2 days ahead, then assemble and bake the wonton shells just before serving for maximum crispiness.

Topping Ideas: Alongside the sweet chili sauce, consider adding sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, chopped peanuts, or even a drizzle of sriracha for added flavor and texture.
