  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)

  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken with teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  3. In another bowl, mix coleslaw, green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and remaining sesame oil.
  4. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry wonton wrappers for 20-30 seconds per side until golden brown.

  6. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute chicken with turkey or tofu. Marinate chicken in advance for deeper flavor and consider baking the wonton wrappers for a healthier option.
