Chicken Wonton Tacos

Laura
These Chicken Wonton Tacos are just like the famous Applebee's tacos that are made with shredded chicken and a zesty slaw in a crispy wonton shell.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup cabbage shredded
  • 1/4 cup carrots shredded
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions cabbage, cilantro, sriracha sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast until browned and cooked through, turning once. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let cool until you’re able to shred it.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, cabbage, and carrots. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the hoisin sauce to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly. Remove from heat.
  • Fill the center of each wonton wrapper with the chicken mixture.
  • Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a taco. There’s no need to press the edges together or seal.
  • Add about 3 tablespoons of oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, it’s ready.
  • Carefully place the filled wontons in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side and the fold, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried wonton tacos to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve immediately with optional toppings.

Notes

  • You don’t need to fill the pan with oil. Just enough to coat the wonton.
  • These can be made in the air fryer if you want to skip the stovetop.
  • Top these tacos with Sriracha or Thai sweet chili sauce.
  • Top with fresh ingredients like shredded cabbage, green onion, shredded carrot, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
