The Best Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe

Directions:

1. The day BEFORE your event or meal, prepare the marinade.
2. Pour the marinade either in a bowl with a well-sealed top or into a ziplock-style baggie.
3. Broil your chicken breasts after a good sprinkling of salt and pepper until cooked throroughly.
4. Remove chicken from heat and cool.
5. When the chicken has cooled, hand shred the breasts into bite sized pieces or strips.
6. Place the chicken in the marinade mixing well and refrigerate for at least six to eight hours or until the next day.
7. On the day you wish to serve your salad, prepare a frying pan or a small pot to try the wonton strips in.
8. Heat the oil over a high heat.
9. Slice your wontons, cutting a stack of several won tons into match-size strips or thicker if you prefer. I cut about 8 strips out of each square of dough, cutting through at least 12 wonton squares at the same time.
10. Fry the wonton in small batches and watch them well as they will brown quickly.
11. Cook each batch until they are a light golden brown color and drain over paper towels. (Cook as many as you like as they add a great crunch to the salad as well as flavor!)
12. *For the salad, layer in the following manner in a very large wide bowl:
13. Torn or shredded lettuce (or cabbage for an outdoors event or potluck)
14. The chicken strips (Just remove chicken with tongs directly from bag. You do not have to drain the chicken as it absorbs the marinade but if you have excess marinade, you do not need to use it.)
15. Sesame seeds
16. Almonds
17. Green onions
18. The fried won ton skin strips
19. *Do not toss the salad as its not necessary.
