Ingredients:
3 cups diced cooked chicken breast
10 or 12 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
½ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup honey
½ cup fresh, smooth peanut butter
4 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon grated, peeled fresh ginger
1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1(6-ounce) package fresh snow peas, ends removed and cut into thirds
Wonton wrappers (about 24)
Vegetable oil
Baby greens

Directions:
     In a large bowl combine the chicken and onions. Place the next 10 ingredients in a deep bowl and whisk together. Pour over the chicken and onions until well coated. Toss gently and refrigerate. (Note: The chicken mixture will not require all of the dressing; reserve the remainder.) This can be made a day ahead.
     To fry the wontons: Cut the wonton wrappers into ½-inch slices with kitchen shears. Pour an inch or so of vegetable oil into a heavy skillet and heat. (Note: Watch to make sure the oil doesn’t get too hot. Medium-high heat works best. If the oil begins to smoke, it’s too hot!) Gently place several slices in the skillet at a time, moving them around with tongs until they become light golden brown. (This doesn’t take long.) Remove them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat process until all of the strips are fried.
     To assemble: Toss with enough of the reserved dressing to lightly coat the baby greens. Place a small amount of greens on each salad plate. Stir the fresh snow peas into the chicken mixture. Place a mound of the chicken-snow pea mixture on top of each plate of greens. Top with fried wontons and serve. Makes 8 servings.
