Tender, juicy chicken wrapped in crispy wonton shells, topped with a fresh slaw and a zesty sauce – these Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos are a mouthwatering fusion of flavors that are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or entertaining.
Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 package (12 count) wonton wrappers
– 2 cups shredded cabbage
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup rice vinegar
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon honey
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Working in batches, carefully place the wonton wrappers into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. In the same skillet, cook the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink.
5. To assemble, place a portion of the chicken in each crispy wonton shell. Top with the slaw and any desired sauces or toppings.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes

– The fried wonton shells can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
– Leftover slaw can be used as a topping for other dishes or enjoyed on its own.
