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 Strips and Garnish
- 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, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is fully cooked through and coated with the sauce, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Prepare Wonton Strips: Cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips. Lay the strips out in a single layer inside your air fryer basket and spray them generously with cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
- Air Fry the Wonton Strips: Air fry the wonton strips at 350°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until they turn crisp and golden. Watch closely to prevent burning, as they can quickly go from golden to burnt.
- Make the Slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded purple cabbage, green cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced green onion, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Toss well to evenly coat the slaw with the dressing.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly between serving bowls. Spoon the cooked teriyaki chicken over the slaw, then top with the crispy wonton strips. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro over the bowls. Add lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp and fresh textures.
Notes
- Keep an eye on wonton strips while air frying to avoid burning.
- Sweet chili sauce is optional but adds a nice sweet and spicy flavor.
- Adjust honey in the slaw dressing for more or less sweetness based on preference.
- Chicken can be substituted with tofu for a vegetarian version but may change the flavor profile slightly.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten free.
