Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil divided
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
For the Coleslaw
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
  • 2 pieces green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
For the Tacos
  • 12 pieces wonton wrappers
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Method
 

Marinating the Chicken
  1. Marinate the chicken with teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 10 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until done, about 5-7 minutes.
Preparing the Coleslaw
  1. Toss the coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and the remaining sesame oil in a bowl.
Frying the Wonton Wrappers
  1. Lightly fry the wonton wrappers in oil for 20-30 seconds per side until crispy.
Assembling the Tacos
  1. Fill each wonton with chicken, coleslaw, and drizzle with sweet chili sauce.
  2. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.

Notes

Don’t skip marinating the chicken for enhanced flavors. Consider using deep frying for an extra crispy wonton. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days, reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
