Copycat Applebee’s Won Ton Chicken Tacos
These Copycat Won Ton Chicken Tacos are even better than Applebee's. These were one of my favorite appetizers at Applebee's and I would get them all the time in College. However, now that I am more aware of what I eat and how harmful certain ingredients can be, I make pretty much everything from scratch. If you look up the ingredients in the Applebee's tacos they are terrifying. I can not believe I used to eat those lol. My homemade Won Ton Chicken Tacos have no added sugar, inflammatory oils, and are made with pure, simple ingredients. If you like the sound of this recipe, be sure to try my Healthy Baked Pork Taquitos as well!
P.S. - Watch my Instagram Reel below on my fun Applebee's experience I had when I was in school LOL.

Chicken:
- 10 oz. shredded & cooked chicken breasts - I used precooked & shredded chicken from my Trifecta meal prep plan

- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
Tacos & Toppings:
Instructions
- Combine slaw ingredients in a large bowl and set aside in fridge for later.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Drape wonton wrappers over the sides of one or two baking dishes. Brush with olive/avocado oil. Bake 8-10 minutes, watching closely so they don’t burn.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat with a drizzle of avocado oil. Sauté the garlic & ginger until fragrant.
- Add in the general Tso’s, sesame oil, and coconut aminos. Stir until sauce has thickened. Mix in the shredded chicken & toss until coated. Turn off heat.
- Assemble your tacos: Add chicken mixture to wonton shells, then top with coleslaw, cilantro, and anything else you would like. Serve with sweet chili sauce and enjoy!
Note: You will have extra slaw! Eat it in the side or save it to make more tacos later 😊
