Grilled
Chicken Salad and Swiss Cheese in Wonton Cups
- 6 egg roll wrappers (7x7-inches)
4 boneless chicken breasts, grilled
3/4 cup orange juice
6 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves crushed through a press
1 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups packaged or assorted greens
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Wisconsin Swiss cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
- Lightly butter 6 (10-ounce)
Pyrex dishes; place 1 egg roll wrapper in each dish. Bake at
375°F (190°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly brown.
Remove from cups and set aside. (Can be prepared to this point
and stored overnight, uncovered, in a cool, dry place.)
- Cool chicken, and cut
into thin strips. Wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a small bowl, whisk
together orange juice, oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper;
set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine
remaining ingredients, reserved chicken and dressing; toss well.
- Spoon an equal amount
of salad into reserved cups.
Makes 6 servings.
Variation: For a warm appetizer,
place a piece of your favorite cheese, vegetable spread, or pate
in the center of a wrapper. Fold to make a neat square. Brush
lightly with melted butter, and bake in a preheated 375°F
(190°C) oven for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown.
