Ingredients
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
- Pinch of salt
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
For the Wonton Strips and Garnishes
- 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 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 well coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Prepare the Wonton Strips: Cut the wonton wrappers into strips and spread them out in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with cooking oil to ensure crispiness.
- Air Fry the Wonton Strips: Set the air fryer to 350°F (190°C) and cook the wonton strips for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Mix the Slaw: In a bowl, combine the shredded purple cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, sliced green onion, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Toss well to combine.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly between serving bowls. Spoon the cooked chicken on top of the slaw, then scatter crispy wonton strips over everything. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce if using.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and a few lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately while the wonton strips remain crisp and fresh.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the wonton strips while air frying to avoid burning.
- You can adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce and honey to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
- Sweet chili sauce adds a nice kick but is optional.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and wonton wrappers or substitute with gluten-free alternatives.
- Leftover slaw can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.
