Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 bunch green onions green part only, sliced on the diagonal
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 cups carrots julienned
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 16 wonton sheets 3 1/2 inch square shredded
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon hot chili garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken breasts, either by grilling or broiling. When they are cool enough to handle, cut each breast into thin strips. Set aside in the refrigerator until needed.
  2. Make the wontons - preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread out the shredded wontons in a single layer. Bake until they are golden, about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on these, as they can burn easily.
  3. Make the Chinese chicken salad dressing - Whisk together the hoisin sauce and creamy peanut butter with the brown sugar, hot chili garlic paste, fresh grated ginger, rice wine vinegar and the sesame oil.
