Chicken Salad with Crispy Wontons

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

10 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

10 wonton wrappers, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 cups torn romaine
3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes

Directions

Lightly spritz both sides of wonton strips with cooking spray; place
on a baking sheet. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or
until golden brown. Turn strips over; broil 2-3 minutes longer or
until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, canola oil, sesame
oil, sugar, salt and pepper; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the
romaine, chicken, peppers and tomatoes. Just before serving, drizzle
with dressing and toss to coat. Top with wonton strips. Yield: 10
servings.
