Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1-1 and 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into long strips

  • salt, for sprinkling

  • coarse Gefen Black Pepper, for sprinkling

Special Equipment

  • 12-16 wooden or metal skewers

Asian Pico de Gallo

  • 2 large tomatoes, diced

Directions

Prepare the Wonton Chicken Skewers

1.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Thread onto skewers.

Working with a stack of wonton wrappers at a time, slice wrappers into very thin strips (as thin as you can). Toss wonton wrappers strips in a bowl. Press chicken into wonton strips to coat.

3.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan. Add chicken; fry until golden and crispy.

4.

Prepare the pico de gallo: In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

5.

Prepare the guacamole: In a medium bowl, combine avocado, red onion, jalapeno, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Serve pico de gallo and guacamole alongside chicken strips.

I would recommend making them fresh, you may be able to make them in advance but then you’d want to crisp them up in the oven before serving.

Phyllo dough is much thinner and more difficult to work with. I think it might burn more easily as well. I have not tried it though, you can try it with one of them and see how it turns out. If you don’t like wonton wrappers, I would suggest maybe trying spring roll wrappers.
