Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken breasts with teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes until no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let cool before chopping.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, chopped green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and remaining sesame oil. Toss until coated.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan until it reaches 350°F. Fry wonton wrappers for 20–30 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Fill each crispy wonton with teriyaki chicken and slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro.
