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

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 coated in the flavorful sauce, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Wonton Strips: Cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips. Arrange them in a single layer inside your air fryer basket and spray generously with cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
  3. Air Fry Wonton Strips: Air fry the wonton strips at 350°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning as they can go from perfect to burnt quickly. Remove and set aside.
  4. Make the Slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded purple cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, sliced green onions, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed and coated with the dressing.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the slaw evenly between your serving bowls. Top each with the cooked teriyaki chicken, then sprinkle the crispy wonton strips on top.
  6. Add Final Touches: Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the bowls if desired, then garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the wonton strips while air frying as they can quickly burn.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Adjust the amount of teriyaki and soy sauce to suit your taste preference.
  • Sweet chili sauce is optional but adds a lovely sweet and spicy dimension.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free soy sauce and wonton wrappers.
