CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRISPY WONTONS

Chicken Salad with Crispy Wontons image

Here's a quick easy meal. My mom made it when I was growing up, but I added veggies and lightened the sweet-and-sour dressing. I also bake the crispy wontons instead of frying them. -Kylea Rorabaugh of Kansas City, Missouri
