CopyCat Applebee's Chicken Wonton Tacos

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into small pieces
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup stir fry sauce
  • 1/4 cup sesame ginger dressing
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 Tbsp sesame ginger dressing
  • 10 wonton wrappers
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • fresh cilantro
  • lime wedge

Instructions

  • Grab a bowl and toss in your chicken pieces, then pour in the stir fry sauce, sesame ginger dressing, soy sauce, and a bit of brown sugar. Give it a good mix so everything's coated. Let the chicken hang out in the fridge for about half an hour to soak up all those flavors.

  • To make the wonton taco shells, grab a deep frying pan and pour in enough vegetable oil so it’s about 2 inches deep. Get it good and hot—around 350°F if you have a thermometer. Take each wonton wrapper and lightly fold it into a triangle (no need to pinch the edges closed). Drop them in the oil and fry until they're crisp and golden, flipping halfway through. Once they're done, set them on a plate lined with paper towels so any extra oil gets soaked up. Keep going until all your wontons are fried.
