Description

A flavorful and comforting dish featuring tender chicken wontons and shiitake mushrooms simmered in a savory teriyaki and chicken broth sauce, finished with spicy chili crisp, sesame oil, and garnished with green onions and sesame seeds. This easy skillet recipe is perfect for a quick and delicious meal with bold Asian-inspired flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Wontons and Mushrooms

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 14 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • One 12-ounce bag frozen wontons (mini chicken cilantro ones recommended)

Broth and Sauce

  • 1-2 cups chicken broth (depending on desired soupiness)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

Garnishes

  • 1-2 tablespoons chili crisp
  • 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 4-5 minutes. Add the grated garlic during the last minute or two to release its aroma without burning.
  2. Simmer Wontons: Add the frozen wontons, chicken broth, and teriyaki sauce to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cover with a lid and let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, or until the wontons are heated through and tender.
  3. Finish and Garnish: Remove the lid and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil along with 1-2 tablespoons of chili crisp to add richness and heat. Top the dish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a fresh and nutty finish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use mini chicken cilantro wontons for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of chicken broth depending on whether you prefer a soupier or thicker consistency.
  • Chili crisp quantities can be modified based on your heat tolerance.
  • This dish can be prepared quickly, making it great for a fast weeknight dinner.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth and mushroom-based wontons.
