For the Chicken:
1 lb chicken breast, diced
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
For the Slaw:
2 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
For the Tacos:
12 wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (white or black)
Make the slaw: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the chicken.
Prepare the wonton wrappers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with olive oil, then drape them over the sides of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake the wonton shells: Bake the wonton wrappers for 7-8 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning. Once slightly cooled, pull them apart gently while they are still pliable, and then bake for an additional 7-8 minutes until crispy.
Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine diced chicken with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the chicken is well-coated.
Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
Assemble the tacos: Once the wonton shells are crispy, fill each one with a portion of the cooked chicken mixture. Top with the prepared slaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
Serve: Serve immediately as a fun appetizer, snack, or quick dinner!
