Recipe



1. In medium mixing bowl, combine chicken marinade ingredients.
Submerge chicken breast pieces in marinade; cover and refrigerate at
least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. In another small bowl, combine barbecue sauce ingredients; set aside.

3. Heat small sauté pan or deep skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1
tablespoon peanut oil. Remove chicken from marinade and stir-fry
until fully cooked; discard marinade. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add additional peanut oil to the pan to fill it 1/4-inch deep.
Deep-fry the wonton wrappers flat, one at a time, until crisp. Drain
wrappers on papers towels.

4. To assemble pizzas, spread one-sixth of barbecue sauce on each
wonton wrapper. Sprinkle one-sixth of the cheese over sauce.
Distribute cooked chicken on each pizza.

5. Adjust oven rack 6 to 8 inches below broiler element and preheat
broiler. Place pizzas in single layer on broiler pan and broil until
cheese melts and chicken is thoroughly heated. Remove from broiler.
Top with chives, peppers and sprouts. Cut each wonton into fourths.
Serve immediately.
