How to Make Teriyaki Chicken
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until golden and fully cooked.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Pour sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer.
Add cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
How to Make Crispy Wonton Shells
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray wonton wrappers with oil and press them into muffin tins or drape over oven-safe bowls to form taco shapes.
Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy.
How to Assemble the Bowls
Add rice to each bowl. Top with teriyaki chicken, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and avocado.
Place crispy wonton shells on the side or on top.
Drizzle with spicy mayo or extra teriyaki sauce if desired.
How to Serve
Serve immediately while wonton shells are still crispy. Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top.
Tips for Best Results
Don’t overcook wonton shells or they may burn. Let sauce thicken fully for better coating. Add toppings fresh for crunch. Serve immediately for best texture contrast.
Variations
Use shrimp or beef instead of chicken. Make it low-carb by skipping wonton shells. Add pineapple for a sweet twist. Turn it into lettuce wraps instead of bowls.
Storage and Meal Prep
Store chicken and rice separately for up to 4 days. Keep wonton shells separate to maintain crispiness. Reheat chicken before assembling.
Final Thoughts
Teriyaki Chicken Wonton Taco Bowls are a fun, flavorful fusion meal that combines sweet teriyaki chicken, fresh veggies, and crispy wonton crunch. It’s easy, exciting, and perfect for a restaurant-style meal at home.
