Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 2–3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
- Pinch of salt
Slaw
- ¼ cup shredded purple cabbage
- ¼ cup shredded green cabbage
- ¼ cup shredded carrots
- 1 green onion, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ginger, minced
- ½ tsp garlic, minced
Wonton Strips
- 8–10 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
Garnishes and Extras
- Sweet chili sauce (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to a pan with sesame oil, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chicken is fully cooked and well coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Prepare the Wonton Strips: Cut the wonton wrappers into strips and arrange them in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Spray them generously with cooking spray to ensure crispiness during air frying.
- Air Fry the Wonton Strips: Air fry the wonton strips at 350°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning, as they can quickly turn from golden to burnt. Remove once crisp and golden brown.
- Make the Slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded purple cabbage, green cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onion. Add sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Toss all the ingredients together until evenly mixed and coated.
- Assemble the Taco Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly between serving bowls. Spoon the cooked teriyaki chicken on top of the slaw. Scatter the crispy wonton strips over the chicken for a delightful crunch.
- Add Garnishes and Serve: Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the bowl if desired. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, additional green onion slices, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and crisp textures.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the wonton strips during air frying as they can burn quickly once golden.
- You can customize the slaw by adding other crunchy vegetables like bell peppers or radishes.
- For a spicier kick, add some chili flakes to the chicken while cooking or drizzle sriracha instead of sweet chili sauce.
- This recipe works well for meal prepping; just keep wonton strips separate until serving to maintain crispiness.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if preferred.
