02 - 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
03 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
04 - 1 tbsp soy sauce
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 tsp minced fresh ginger

→ Shells and Garnishes

13 - 16 wonton wrappers
14 - Sweet chili sauce, to serve

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with olive or canola oil. Drape over the side of a 9×13 baking dish and bake for 7-8 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Remove from oven and gently pull shells apart while still pliable, then bake for another 7-8 minutes until crispy.
02 - Mix diced raw chicken in a bowl with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Heat a skillet over high heat and sauté chicken for 7-8 minutes, tossing frequently, until fully cooked.
03 - Combine coleslaw mix, green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey in a large bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Fill crispy wonton shells with the chicken mixture, then top with the prepared slaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
