Chinese Chicken Salad

Ingredients

• 7 wonton wrappers, sliced into strips
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• cooking spray
• 4 cups romaine torn lettuce
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 3 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned
• 2 large mushrooms, washed and sliced
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
For the Dressing:
• 1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise
• 6 tablespoons local honey
• 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or other hot sauce)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Spray a small baking sheet with cooking spray and add the wonton strips. Toss to coat with some of the cooking spray. Spread out evenly. Bake for 5 minutes, or until starting to turn brown and crisp. Remove and cool.
3. Spray another small baking sheet with cooking spray (or use the same one after wontons are baked) and add the chicken breasts. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil over the 2 breasts. Bake for 15 minutes, or until chicken releases clear juice when pierced with a knife. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl add the romaine, spinach, mandarins, mushrooms and scallions. Toss to combine. Set aside.
5. In a medium bowl add all of the dressing ingredients and whisk to combine. Drizzle over the greens and toss to coat. Divide between 2 serving bowls and top with sliced chicken breasts and wonton strips. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to taste and serve.
