Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Cook the Chicken
In a large pot, add enough water to cover the chicken breasts and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat, drain, and let cool before shredding the chicken.

Prepare the Ginger Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh ginger, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until combined. Set aside.
- 3
Shred the Chicken
Once the chicken has cooled, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- 4
Toast the Almonds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside.
- 5
Fry the Wontons
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the wonton wrappers until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, toasted almonds, and half of the ginger vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat the chicken evenly.

Serve
To serve, place a portion of the chicken mixture on a plate, drizzle with peanut sauce, top with fried wontons, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve with the remaining ginger vinaigrette on the side.
