Prep

Step 1. Place Chicken Breast and Salt in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook over low heat until the chicken is opaque throughout, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 2. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss Wonton Wrappers with Vegetable Oil and spread on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake until golden and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once.
Step 3. Toast Sliced Almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4. Whisk Rice Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Honey and Ginger in a large bowl.
Step 5. Drain the cooked chicken and let it cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes. Shred it with two forks.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Add Napa Cabbage, Cabbage, Carrot, Scallions, Mandarin Oranges and the shredded chicken to the dressing. Toss gently, then top with the wonton strips and almonds.

Tips

Good to know

Check that the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F before draining.

Make ahead

Refrigerate the chicken, vegetables and dressing separately for up to 2 days; add the wontons and almonds just before serving.

Swap it

For a nut-free salad, leave out the almonds and use extra wonton strips.
