This is an easy copycat recipe for Applebee's chicken wonton tacos made with marinated chicken and creamy coleslaw inside crispy wonton shells and topped with a delicious sweet Asian chili sauce.
Combine finely diced chicken and marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Prepare the slaw by mixing coleslaw and Marzetti's coleslaw dressing together in a bowl.
For the sauce, mix together ingredients in a small dish, then microwave for 30 seconds.
To fry wonton wrappers into the shape of a taco, heat an inch of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Place a wrapper in the oil and then use tongs to quickly flip over and fold one half of the wonton shell upward (like a taco) to fry one side until crispy. Once crispy (about 15-30 seconds) flip over and fry the other side. It may take some practice. Continue until enough wrappers are fried. They continue to brown after they are removed from the oil. Drain on paper towels.
In a large pan, cook chicken until browned and cooked through the center.
Add chicken to each wonton taco, followed by coleslaw, sweet chili sauce, and topped with fresh cilantro and squeeze of lime juice.
