Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 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

For the 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

Toppings

  • 8–10 wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray
  • Sweet chili sauce (optional)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to a pan along with 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 evenly coated in the flavorful sauce.
  2. Prepare Wonton Strips: Cut the wonton wrappers into strips and lay them out in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Spray generously with cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
  3. Air Fry Wontons: Air fry the wonton strips at 350°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes or until they are crisp and golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning as they can quickly go from golden to burnt.
  4. 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 coat everything evenly.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the prepared slaw between serving bowls. Spoon the cooked teriyaki chicken over the slaw, then scatter the crispy wonton strips on top. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce if desired.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish the bowls with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, additional sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately while the wontons are still crisp and the slaw fresh.

Notes

  • Wonton strips can be baked in an oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer.
  • Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the slaw dressing to your liking by varying the honey and soy sauce amounts.
  • For extra protein, add edamame or sliced avocado as toppings.
  • Store leftover components separately to keep wonton strips crispy.
  • Teriyaki sauce can be homemade or store-bought; choose low-sodium options to control salt intake.
