Chinese Chicken Salad with Crispy Won Tons
Donna Smith
Ingredients
Dressing:
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon hot chile paste
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salad:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 package won ton wrappers, cut into thin slices
1 small head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 to 2 cups shredded carrots
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Combine the salad dressing ingredients. Set aside.
Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Place the sliced won ton wrappers on pan, then lightly spray the top with more cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chicken, lettuce, carrots, onions and cilantro. Toss.
When ready to serve, add the won tons and dressing. Toss again to coat.
Suggestions
For quicker preparation, a can of broad chow mein noodles can be substituted for the won tons.
