1-2 Chicken Breasts, butterflied
1-2 cups of Panko Breadcrumbs

1 cup of Flour
For the Dressing:
3 tablespoons of Soy Sauce
1-2 tablespoons of Sesame Oil
2-3 tablespoons of Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon of hot sauce (or to taste)
Juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon sugar
2-3 tablespoons of Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup of Oil
Oil for frying
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, radicchio, shredded or julienne-cut carrot and toss again to combine.
2
In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds and slivered almonds over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Set them aside.
3
In a separate bowl, prepare the soy dressing by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hot sauce, orange juice, sugar, dijon mustard, oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust as needed for taste.
4
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to coat the lettuce and carrots evenly.
5
In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. Dip the chicken breast slices into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with panko breadcrumbs.
6
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Fry the coated chicken breast slices until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain excess oil on paper towels.
7
Slice the wonton wrappers into long strips and fry in small batches until they become crispy and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
8
Arrange the dressed salad mixture on serving plates. Top with the fried chicken slices, toasted sesame seeds, almonds, fried wonton strips, and garnish with the chopped green onions.
