CRISPY WONTON CHICKEN SALAD
This dynamic chicken salad, starring crispy strips of fried wonton wrappers, draws inspiration from the wonton chicken salad at the soup and salad buffet chain Sweet Tomatoes, as well as the American Chinese chicken salads that pervaded chain-restaurant menus throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. In a supporting role, letting the crispy wontons shine, is the punchy dressing of peach preserves, rice vinegar, sesame oil and chili powder. The dressing's low oil content - plus the addition of mayonnaise, which helps create an emulsion - means the salad greens stay crunchy and keep for longer. For the chicken, you can use any leftover meat or tear pieces from a store-bought rotisserie bird.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil, peach preserves, mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili powder and onion powder, and season to taste with salt.
- Prepare the salad: Add the chicken to the dressing and toss.
- To fry the wonton wrappers, cut the squares into 1/2-inch strips, then cut those strips in half crosswise to shorten them. In a medium saucepan, heat an inch of oil over medium to 350 degrees, or until a wonton strip immediately bubbles when added. Carefully add the wonton strips to the hot oil and, stirring constantly with a slotted spoon, fry until puffy and golden, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Transfer the crispy wontons to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
- Assemble the salad: Add the chopped romaine, scallions, cilantro, mint and half of the fried wontons to the bowl with the dressed chicken, and toss to combine. Season with salt as needed. Top with the remaining fried wontons and serve immediately.
CRUNCHY ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD
I love their crunchy, citrusy salad so much that once I made my husband drive an hour to the nearest Applebee's restaurant just so I could eat it! It was time to come up with my own version. I'm completely happy with the results-and my husband is, too! Find more of my recipes at my blog, mandysrecipeboxblog.com. -Mandy Bird, Holbrook, Idaho

Steps:
- Prepare the marinade in a bowl. Rinse the chicken breast halves, pat dry with paper towels and pierce them with a needle type tenderizing tool such as the Deni tenderizing tool. Add the chicken breast halves to the bowl of marinade, toss to coat, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator till the grill is ready.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a deep cast iron skillet to 400 degrees F. If using a skillet, add enough oil to at least 1 inch deep with oil. Gently separate the rice sticks as much as you can and drop into the hot oil. It should only take a second or two for the rice sticks to completely puff up. Remove from oil and immediately drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the sesame-ginger salad dressing and desired amount of Sriracha sauce, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator till needed.
- Prepare an outdoor grill for grilling. Grill the chicken till the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink (internal temperature of 165 degrees F). Remove the cooked meat from the grill and allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes. Shred the meat with a couple of forks, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator till the rest of the salad is prepared.
- Rinse and shred the lettuce and cabbage then divide it between two serving bowls. Top each salad serving with equal amounts of shredded carrots, sliced celery, sliced scallions and shredded cooked chicken. Pour the salad dressing over each serving and top each serving with and equal amount of fried rice sticks.
