Equipment
- Oven
- Skillet
- baking sheet

Ingredients
Chicken Filling
- 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

Instructions
Preparation
- Marinate the chicken. Toss the diced chicken with the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the coleslaw. 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.
- Cook the chicken. Heat a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes.
- 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 for up to 5 days.
