Chinese Chicken Salad

2 chicken breasts
1/8 cup soy sauce
2 t. sugar
lettuce (I like romaine or spinach)
1 bunch of green onions
2 T slivered almonds
2 T sesame seeds
2 oz. deep fried wontons
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained

Dressing: (or you can use Feast from the East-Sesame Dressing from Costco)
1 T sugar
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/8 cup oil
2 t. sesame oil
1 1/2 T rice vinegar

Boil chicken breasts until cooked, then shred and marinate in soy sauce and sugar. Refrigerate the chicken marinade and dressing a few hours before serving, then mix all together.

How to fry wontons: Buy the fresh wonton wraps in the produce/asian section and then cut them into salad-size strips (the ones I buy are about 3 inches square and I cut them into 4 strips with a pizza roller). Then just throw them in a frying pan with some hot oil in it. They will bubble and turn brown. Flip them over before they get too dark and cook the other side. Be careful not to burn them. Only cook one layer at a time. They are totally unhealthy, but sooo yummy!
