Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 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 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 bite-sized 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 until the chicken is fully cooked and well-coated in the sauce, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare Wonton Strips: Cut wonton wrappers into strips and arrange them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Spray them generously with cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
- Air Fry Wonton Strips: Air fry at 350°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until the strips are crisp and golden. Watch carefully as they can quickly go from golden to burnt.
- Make the Slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded purple cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, sliced green onion, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Toss well to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the slaw between serving bowls. Spoon the cooked teriyaki chicken over the top, then scatter the crispy wonton strips over the chicken and slaw.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the bowl if desired. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, additional sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and a few lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the wonton strips during air frying as they can burn quickly.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor; jarred versions can work but will alter the taste slightly.
- Sweet chili sauce is optional but adds a nice sweet heat to the bowls.
- Feel free to substitute chicken breasts with boneless thighs for a juicier result.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the wonton strips at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.
