I made this for dinner last night, though I ended up deviating from the recipe quite a bit. I used egg roll wraps because my local grocery store was out of wonton wraps. I fried them in a skillet with some olive oil to achieve that nice blistery crunch that isn't obtainable by baking. The recipe suggests frying them for 1 minute per side, but that just burns them to a crisp. I would say 20 seconds per side is plenty. Two tablespoons of sesame oil for the ground chicken was too much. That is all you will taste. I modified it to two teaspoons and it was perfect. I also added some ground ginger and white pepper for extra flavor. The cole slaw mixture as written is a mess! I'd say half the vinegar and take out the teriyaki completely. Our cole slaw was very soupy and honestly not really tangy at all because the teriyaki really overpowers everything else. This recipe was okay, but it needed some modifying to get there.
This is a great recipe with some tweaking.
I followed the instructions that Kankan669 mentioned, I cut the teriyaki from the slaw and used half the vinegar and the slaw was PERFECT! My husband even loved it and he doesn't like slaw.
We only used 2 teaspoons of the seasame oil and that was plenty, and added a hair more stir fry sauce.
I really wanted to bake the wontons so I sprayed the back of a muffin tin with a coconut oil spray, layed out the wontons as "tacos" and then sprayed the shells one more time before baking them, that gave them the nice golden crispness without the frying (it might take a bit longer than the 4-5 min, just watch them).
Otherwise you'll love this recipe. 3 tacos is equivalent to 272 calories. (small portions but a tasty "treat" if you still want to have a healthy small meal.)
Enjoy!!
This is a great recipe. My wife and I love the chicken wonton tacos at applebees and this is the closest to it. I added some Sriracha hot chili sauce to it after simmering the chicken, great flavor with a little kick.
Made this for my hubby since he absolutely LOVES Applebee's version. Too much vinegar in slaw would recommend white cabbage and 1/2 the red wine vinegar. Also the chicken was good but needed more stir-fry sauce. Definite tips for next time! It was pretty good:)
This is incredible but I did make some changes based on others reviews. 1/2 of the red wine vinegar in the coleslaw mix and I used the pre bagged mix with Marie's coleslaw dressing. I also used soft taco shells instead of the wonton's as I was making this as the meal and wanted a larger wrap. I used General Tsao's stir fry sauce and added some cayenne to add some heat. Yum! Can't wait to eat leftovers tomorrow. I know I shouldn't rate 5 stars since I made changes but I think this is an awesome place to start and make changes to personal taste.
These are very good. I used egg roll wrappers for larger tacos.
Was good and easy to make. I bought a bag of rainbow slaw (carrots broccoli red cabbage) which made prep much easier. Slaw sauce was too vinegary for my taste. Also while the wontons look fun as taco shapes would have been easier to eat and fill if we put the wontons IN the muffins and made muffin shell shapes instead. Will try again!
The chicken and the slaw were delicious but the won ton was bad if you bake it it comes out with no taste and really crispy. I wet each wrap and put two together so they were more pliable and fried them in a little olive oil. This seemed to help but no way near Applebee's.
These were fantastic. I failed at making the “taco” shape, so we just crumbled the wontons and created a salad. It was delicious. Tasted just like Applebee’s
