Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix all the salad ingredients except the fried won ton wrappers and sesame seeds and refrigerate.

In a skillet, heat the soy sauce, sugar and Accent until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to simmer for about 1 hour or until the chicken is very tender. Shred the chicken while warm, transfer to a covered bowl and refrigerate until cold (about 30 minutes).

For the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together and set aside until ready to assemble the salad.

To assemble the salad: Break up the won ton wrappers and add to the salad along with the shredded chicken. Toss to evenly distribute. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
