Notes

You can use any cooked chicken you have on hand – I used diced grilled chicken but rotisserie chicken and leftover chicken also work just as well.
Wonton strips can be found in the salad dressing aisle near the croutons.
You can prepare the salad ingredients and dressing up to 8 hours before you plan to eat, then toss everything together right before serving.
