Chicken Wonton Tacos
Make a perfect Applebee's copycat recipe for Chicken Wonton Tacos with only 7 ingredients. You can recreate this restaurant favorite at home in just 30 minutes, for an easy party appetizer! The tacos are made with baked wonton shells, filled with sweet chili chicken and coleslaw, for a delicious combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, finely diced (about ½ inch cubes)
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce, plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup cilantro, plus more to garnish
- ¼ cup coleslaw dressing
- 18 wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken. Toss the diced chicken with the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes. You can also cover it and marinate it for up to 8 hours in the fridge.
- Prepare the coleslaw. While the chicken is marinating, combine the coleslaw mix with cilantro and coleslaw dressing. Transfer to the fridge to allow the flavors to combine.
- Prepare the wonton shells. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray wonton wrappers on both sides with cooking spray. Drape them over a wire rack that’s held up by two oven-safe bowls on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes on the middle rack of the oven. Watch carefully during the last 2 minutes to make sure they don’t burn.
- Cook the chicken. Heat a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Once the skillet it hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the chicken is cooked evenly on all side.
- Assemble the tacos. Place the cooked chicken in the wonton shells, top with coleslaw and garnish with additional cilantro and sweet chili sauce.
Notes
- You can easily make the wonton shells ahead of time and store them in an airtight container (like a gallon zipper bag) on the counter for up to 5 days.
