Cook’s Note
For quick and easy prep, place the cabbage and veggies in a bowl and make the dressing in the morning. Then, cook the chicken and chips right before dinner. If you’re in a pinch, you can use leftover shredded chicken from Simplest Roast Chicken Ever. If you’d like to make this salad completely gluten free, simply omit the wonton chips
