To make Applebee’s Chicken Wonton Tacos at home, you’ll start by preparing the wonton taco shells. Preheat your oven and shape the wonton wrappers into taco shells using a baking dish or taco stands. Spray them lightly with cooking spray and bake until they’re golden brown and crispy.
For the chicken, you’ll need to dice it into small pieces and marinate it with a mixture of teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking it in a skillet until done.
The Asian Coleslaw is made by combining coleslaw mix with green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Mix these ingredients well and let it sit in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the tacos.
To assemble, fill the crispy wonton shells with the cooked chicken, top with the Asian coleslaw, and garnish with sweet chili sauce, minced fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds for a delicious finish.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, finely diced
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 bag coleslaw
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
16 Wonton wrappers
Sweet chili sauce, to serve
Chopped cilantro, to serve
Sesame seeds, to serve
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with a bit of olive/canola oil, then drape over the side of a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 7-8 minutes, watching closely so they don’t burn. Take wonton shells out of the oven, then gently pull them apart while they are still pliable so that they are more easily filled with toppings. Bake another 7-8 minutes until crispy.
Mix diced raw chicken in a large bowl with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Heat a large skillet over high heat and sauté chicken for 7-8 minutes, tossing frequently until cooked through.
Meanwhile, mix ingredients for coleslaw together in a large bowl.
Add chicken mixture to wonton shells, then top with coleslaw, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
