Prepare the slaw and wonton shells as directed in the recipe. The slaw can be refrigerated in a covered, airtight storage container for up to 2 days. For the shells, allow them to cool completely and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature.<\/p>\n<p>For the chicken, marinate the chicken up to 24 hours ahead of time. Then cook as directed before serving and assemble with the prepared slaw and wonton shells.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Applebee&#8217;s Chicken Wonton Tacos Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1922196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FT23_271252_EC_0929_9-Overhead-Copycat-Applebees-Wonton-Tacos-Recolor-DH-TOH-TMB-Studio.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Ft23 271252 Ec 0929 9 Overhead Copycat Applebees Wonton Tacos Recolor Dh Toh Tmb Studio\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you shape the wontons into shells?<\/h3>\n<p>Use a gentle hand when handling the wonton wrappers. If they&#8217;re dry, moisten them with a few drops of water to make them more pliable. In testing, we found that using a baking dish with a slighter wider rim resulted in shells with a better opening for stuffing with chicken and slaw. For perfectly shaped shells every time, you could also use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Taco-Holder-Stand-Packs-Dishwasher\/dp\/B07FBNFPHG\/\" data-name=\"www.amazon.com\/Taco-Holder-Stand-Packs-Dishwasher\/dp\/B07FBNFPHG\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">stainless steel taco shell holders<\/a> to shape and bake the wonton wrappers.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do you have to marinate the chicken?<\/h3>\n<p>We suggest marinating the chicken for at least 15 minutes. This is the minimum time needed to ensure the marinade soaks into the chicken to flavor and tenderize it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you marinate the chicken for more or less time than the recipe calls for?<\/h3>\n<p>While we don&#8217;t recommend marinating the chicken for less than 15 minutes, you can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours if you want to make this recipe ahead to enhance the flavor. We don&#8217;t recommend marinating the chicken for more than 24 hours since the marinade can break down the muscle fibers in the chicken too much. This can cause the chicken to have a mushy, unpleasant texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applebee&#8217;s chicken wonton tacos may be discontinued at restaurants, but they
