Description

Delicious Chicken Wontons in Spicy Chili Sauce featuring tender shiitake mushrooms, savory wontons simmered in a flavorful broth with teriyaki and finished with a bold chili crisp and sesame oil sauce. This easy skillet dish delivers a perfect balance of spicy, savory, and umami flavors, topped with green onions and toasted sesame seeds for texture and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Wontons and Sauce

  • 1-2 cups chicken broth (depending on how soupy you like it)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp
  • one 12-ounce bag frozen wontons (mini chicken cilantro preferred)

Mushrooms and Garnish

  • 14 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • green onions, sliced
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until they are softened and flavorful, about 5 minutes. Add the grated garlic during the last 1-2 minutes and cook until fragrant.
  2. Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen wontons, chicken broth, and teriyaki sauce to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes, until the wontons are fully heated through and tender.
  3. Finish and Serve: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the chili crisp to coat everything in the bold sauce. Transfer to plates or bowls, then garnish generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added crunch and freshness.
