CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRISPY WONTONS



Chicken Salad with Crispy Wontons image

Here's a quick easy meal. My mom made it when I was growing up, but I added veggies and lightened the sweet-and-sour dressing. I also bake the crispy wontons instead of frying them. -Kylea Rorabaugh of Kansas City, Missouri

ASIAN WONTON SALAD



Asian Wonton Salad image

Asian-inspired wonton salad packs a ton of flavor with a sweet sesame dressing over lettuce, chicken, and other fresh vegetables.

Provided by Helen Klaan and Gisela Humphrey

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

SWEET SESAME DRESSING
2/3 C rice vinegar
1 C canola oil
2 Tbs sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, pressed or very finely minced
2 Tbs soy sauce
1/2 C sugar
4 Tbs sesame seeds
ASIAN WONTON SALAD
2 heads romaine lettuce
3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed or shredded
cherry tomatoes
1 red onion, sliced thinly
1 cucumber, sliced
1 package wontons
vegetable oil for frying
optional: cashews (Mel noted in the comments that cashews are a yummy addition, I'll have to try it!)

Steps:

  • DRESSING
  • Place all dressing ingredients into a quart jar (or something equivalent) and shake vigorously. If desired, make ahead of time and store in the fridge.
  • WONTONS
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a pot on the stove top. Use pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut wontons into thirds (3 strips). You may not need the entire package, depending on how much salad you're making. I usually use about half of the wonton wrappers. You'll want the oil at about 375 degrees. Test by dipping a wonton in and seeing if it bubbles up quickly. Fry wontons a few at a time and set on paper towels to dry. These can be made ahead of time and kept in an air tight container.
  • SALAD
  • Tear clean lettuce into chunks and place in a large salad bowl. Top with cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion. Add shredded chicken and top with Sweet Sesame Dressing. Toss salad together. Once everything is well coated, add wonton strips and gently toss to combine.
  • If Asian salad is sounding good, you might enjoy this one too. It's my "detox" salad because it's so light and packed with fiber. I eat it for several days after caloric weekends!

CRISPY WONTON CHICKEN SALAD



Crispy Wonton Chicken Salad image

This dynamic chicken salad, starring crispy strips of fried wonton wrappers, draws inspiration from the wonton chicken salad at the soup and salad buffet chain Sweet Tomatoes, as well as the American Chinese chicken salads that pervaded chain-restaurant menus throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. In a supporting role, letting the crispy wontons shine, is the punchy dressing of peach preserves, rice vinegar, sesame oil and chili powder. The dressing's low oil content - plus the addition of mayonnaise, which helps create an emulsion - means the salad greens stay crunchy and keep for longer. For the chicken, you can use any leftover meat or tear pieces from a store-bought rotisserie bird.

Categories     salads and dressings, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons peach or apricot preserves
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt
8 ounces cooked chicken meat, torn into bite-size pieces (2 cups)
8 wonton wrappers (see Tip)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Salt
2 romaine hearts, coarsely chopped
4 scallions, coarsely chopped
1 packed cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
1 packed cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil, peach preserves, mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili powder and onion powder, and season to taste with salt.
  • Prepare the salad: Add the chicken to the dressing and toss.
  • To fry the wonton wrappers, cut the squares into 1/2-inch strips, then cut those strips in half crosswise to shorten them. In a medium saucepan, heat an inch of oil over medium to 350 degrees, or until a wonton strip immediately bubbles when added. Carefully add the wonton strips to the hot oil and, stirring constantly with a slotted spoon, fry until puffy and golden, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Transfer the crispy wontons to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the chopped romaine, scallions, cilantro, mint and half of the fried wontons to the bowl with the dressed chicken, and toss to combine. Season with salt as needed. Top with the remaining fried wontons and serve immediately.
