Won-Ton Chicken Salad

I'm not exactly sure where Sarah go this recipe, but I absolutely love it. This is one of my favorite salads, and it's not that hard to make. Now this recipe makes quite a large salad, so you better share it because it does not keep very well. Also, if you like more chicken, just serve everyone else first. You should then have plenty of chicken, as most of the chicken tends to hide at the bottom of the bowl.



Ingredients

2 heads of lettuce
6 grilled boneless/skinless chicken breasts
6 small green onions
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1 can Mandarin oranges
6 oz won-ton wrappers

Dressing

1/2 cup vinegar
1/8 cup sugar
1 cup canola oil
3 tsp salt
3 tsp pepper

Procedure

1. Fry won-ton wrappers in oil so they are golden brown when done ( Remove from oil before turning brown and they will brown up without being over cooked)
2. Grill chicken breasts brushed with olive oil. Cut cooked chicken breasts into bit size chunks and set aside.
3. For dressing, heat vinegar and sugar until dissolved. ( Don't boil ). Remove from heat and add canola oil, salt and pepper.
4. Mix all ingredients except dressing together in a large bowl.
5. Just before serving, add dressing to salad and toss.

Speedy Chicken Stir-Fry

I received this wonderful recipe in the Kraft food & family magazine (Fall 2007). It's really easy to make and tastes great. The roasted peanuts really add the final touch, so make sure that you don't skip those.

8 oz Angel hair pasta (capellini), uncooked
2 cups broccoli florets

1/2 cup Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/3 cup chopped Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts

Procedure
1. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes
or until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and crushed red
pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
2. Cook pasta as directed on package, adding broccoli to the boiling water for the last 3 minutes of the pasta
cooking time.
3. Drain pasta mixture; place in large bowl. Add chicken mixture; mix lightly. Spoon evenly into serving

***Substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as snow peas, sliced bell peppers, sliced
carrots or chopped red onions, instead of the broccoli.
