Won Ton Chicken Salad

4-6 chicken breasts cubed
1 head of lettuce
1 pkg. Won Ton wraps
1 small pkg. almonds

Dressing
½ c. white vinegar
½ c. oil
1 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. pepper

Make dressing ahead of time by bringing all ingredients to a boil. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Cook chicken, let cool and cut into bite size pieces. Heat ½ cup vegetable oil in a skillet until very hot. Place Won Ton wraps in oil and cook until lightly brown on each side (this literally takes seconds). Set aside. Cut up lettuce in a large salad bowl, add slivered almonds and chicken. Pour half the dressing into the salad and toss well. Crumble the won ton wraps onto the salad. Add the remaining dressing and toss well.

This is one of our most very favorite salads…. Actually we have a lot of favorite salads. This one is really good and easy and is a favorite at our Smith family party’s. I got this recipe from my sister Kris but I think it originally came from my niece Holly. You can add mandarin oranges if you want. You can also substitute the head of lettuce with bagged baby lettuces or baby spinach. It turns out just as good.
