Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your wonton wrappers and cooking spray.
  2. Lightly spray each wonton wrapper with cooking spray or brush with sesame oil, then drape them over the cups of a muffin tin.
  3. Bake for about 7-8 minutes until golden and crisp. Check for doneness and bake longer if needed.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken breasts with hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken mixture for about 7-8 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. In another bowl, combine coleslaw mix, green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Toss until evenly coated.
  7. Fill each wonton shell with the cooked chicken mixture and top with coleslaw and sweet chili sauce.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
