Made with leftover rotisserie chicken, romaine, napa, crispy wonton strips and the best sesame ginger sauce ever!
Whenever I have some rotisserie chicken left over from this, I repurpose the leftovers to make my favorite Chinese Chicken Salad. A quality salad in a restaurant that really tastes much better at home.
Packed with romaine lettuce, napa cabbage, mandarin oranges, cilantro, green onions, salted cashews, green onions and of course the most crispy wonton strips. Store bought is fine, but nothing beats the homemade version.
Not to mention the perfect ginger sesame dressing that goes so well with it. The sauce can always be prepared ahead of time, hidden in the refrigerator before serving. And you can chew all the wonton strips while preparing.
