Applebee’s Chicken Wonton Tacos feature crispy wonton shells filled with savory chicken, topped with a creamy slaw and drizzled with a sweet and spicy sauce. This fun and flavorful appetizer is easy to make and perfect for parties or a unique dinner.

Ingredients

  • 12 small square wonton wrappers
  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (pre-made or shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin. Press each wonton wrapper into a muffin cup and bake for 7-9 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks.
  3. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss coleslaw mix in the dressing and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if using).
  5. Assemble the tacos by spooning shredded chicken into each baked wonton shell, topping with slaw, and drizzling with sweet chili sauce.
  6. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overbake the wonton shells, as they can burn quickly.
  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the chicken or slaw.
  • Store leftover chicken and slaw in separate containers for up to 2 days, but re-crisp the wonton shells before assembling.
