Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2–3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
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 Crisps and Garnishes
- 8–10 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
- Sweet chili sauce (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to a pan along with 2 tsp sesame oil, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and coated with the sauce, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare Wonton Crisps: Cut the wonton wrappers into strips. Lay them out in a single layer in your air fryer basket and spray them generously with cooking oil. Air fry at 350°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Make the Slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded purple and green cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced green onion, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Toss well to mix ingredients evenly.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly between serving bowls. Spoon the cooked teriyaki chicken over the slaw, then scatter crispy wonton strips on top. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce if using.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately while the wontons are still crisp and the flavors fresh.
Notes
- Air fryer times may vary; keep an eye on wontons to prevent burning.
- Sweet chili sauce is optional but adds a nice sweet-spicy kick.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free wonton wrappers.
- Leftover chicken and slaw can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.
