Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray the back of your muffin tin with cooking spray.
  3. Drape each wonton wrapper over the inverted muffin cups in the tin, molding them into mini taco shapes.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes until the chicken turns white.
  5. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger into the cooked chicken. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, chopped green onions, and the remaining sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Mix thoroughly.
  7. Once the wonton shells are baked and crisp, fill each shell with the chicken mixture and top with slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish.
  8. Serve immediately for the best crunch!
