Applebee’s Chicken Wonton Tacos are crispy, flavor-packed mini tacos filled with marinated chicken, crunchy slaw, and a sweet chili drizzle, served in golden wonton shells. A perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors in a bite-sized form.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce or sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 12–16 wonton wrappers
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or coleslaw dressing
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2–3 tbsp sweet chili sauce (for drizzling)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray or brush wonton wrappers with oil and drape over a baking dish edge or muffin tin to form taco shapes.
  3. Bake for 7–10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool.
  4. In a bowl, mix diced chicken with hoisin or sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  5. In another bowl, toss coleslaw mix with rice vinegar or dressing, green onions, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until fully cooked and caramelized, about 6–8 minutes.
  7. Assemble tacos by spooning chicken into baked wonton shells.
  8. Top with slaw, a drizzle of sweet chili sauce, and chopped cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately while shells are crisp.

Notes

  • Fill tacos just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness if preferred.
  • Try different sauces like teriyaki or sriracha mayo for flavor variety.
  • Wonton shells can be baked or fried in advance and stored airtight.
  • Make it low-carb by using lettuce leaves instead of wonton wrappers.
