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

I made a few substitutions to the recipe. I used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and I added some chopped celery and red onion. It was still delicious!

I love that this recipe uses rotisserie chicken. It's such a time-saver and makes the salad so easy to throw together.
