Chinese Chicken Wonton Salad

Salads were the answer to all my pregnancy cravings this time around.  We started making this salad in January, and it lasted all summer long.  Even the kiddos looooove it.  Enjoy!


Chinese Chicken Wonton Salad

3 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1 head iceberg lettuce, torn into pieces
1 romaine heard torn into pieces
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained (we omit)
1 (4 ounce) package slivered almonds, toasted (we don’t toast)
¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted (we buy the pre-toasted kind)
1 bunch green onions
A few generous handfuls of Extra Crispy Chinese Noodles (the big fat ones)

Dressing:
¼ cup sugar
1tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ cups white wine vinegar
½ cup vegetable oil

Mix together well.

Boil chicken breasts until cooked and slice into small pieces.  In a large salad bowl, mix together chicken and Chinese Noodles with lettuce, oranges, water chestnuts, almonds, green onions and sesame seeds.  Toss with dressing and serve.

  1. Delicious! Only change was that I used rice wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. First time I have ever gotten Josie to eat a salad! Hallelujah!
