Delight in these comforting Chicken Wontons simmered in a flavorful spicy chili teriyaki sauce.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Wontons and Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • One 12-ounce bag frozen chicken wontons (mini chicken cilantro ones recommended)
  • 1-2 cups chicken broth (adjust depending on desired soupiness)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they become softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. During the last 1-2 minutes, add the grated garlic and continue to sauté to release its aroma without burning.
  2. Cook Wontons in Broth and Sauce: Add the frozen wontons directly to the skillet along with the chicken broth and teriyaki sauce. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes or until the wontons are completely heated through and tender. Adjust the amount of chicken broth depending on how much sauce or soupiness you prefer.
  3. Finish with Sesame Oil and Chili Crisp: Remove the lid, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the chili crisp to infuse the dish with rich and spicy flavors. Mix well to coat all the wontons and mushrooms evenly.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wontons and sauce to serving bowls. Top with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a fresh, crunchy finish. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use mini chicken cilantro wontons for best flavor and size.
  • Adjust chili crisp quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
  • Sauté garlic gently to avoid bitterness.
  • For a gluten-free version, confirm the wontons and teriyaki sauce are gluten-free.
