Oriental Chicken Salad

1 head red lettuce
1 head green lettuce
8 green onions, sliced
1 pkg slivered almonds, toasted
4 Tbs sesame seeds, toasted
1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 large can mandarin oranges, drained
1 pkg. wontons, cut into strips.  (Fry in hot oil and flip over.  Watch closely, they burn quickly. Place on paper towels to dry)
2 large chicken breasts- Simmer for 45 min, then cool and shred in this:
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 tsp ginger
1 cup or more water to barely cover chicken

Dressing:  (Mix well)                                             HALF
6 Tbs rice vinegar                                         3 Tbs rice vinegar
1/2 c canola oil                                             1/4 c canola oil
3-4 drops of sesame oil                                 2-3 drops sesame oil
4 Tbs sugar                                                   2 Tbs sugar
2 tsp salt                                                       1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper                                              1/8 tsp pepper (opt)

*If I don't want to go to all the work of this, I just use plain chicken  that I already have shredded and instead of frying wontons, just use Top Ramen broken in pieces.
