Applebee’s Chicken Wonton Tacos


  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Poultry

Description

A delightful fusion of Asian and Mexican flavors, these crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos are filled with diced chicken, crunchy slaw, and topped with sweet chili sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (plus an extra for slaw)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (plus an extra for slaw)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
  • 1 bag coleslaw mix
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 16 wonton wrappers
  • Sweet chili sauce, for serving
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray the back of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Drape the wonton wrappers over the inverted muffin cups to create taco shells. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crisp and golden.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it is no longer pink.
  4. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is glazed.
  5. Combine the coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey in a bowl. Mix until the slaw is well-coated.
  6. Fill each wonton shell with the chicken mixture and top generously with the slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve immediately for maximum crunch!

Notes

For a vegetarian twist, swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms and chopped bell peppers. To store leftovers, keep the chicken filling separate from the wonton shells.
