Asian Chicken Noodle Salad

This is the first time i ever used rice noodles (sold as thai stir-fry rice noodles) and really liked them. By the way the original recipes suggested using rotisserie chicken but i didn't have any so put some teriyaki sauce on some boneless chicken tenders (chicken breasts) and broiled them. This salad also goes together in no time at all. I figured if following the ww flex plan this is about 8 points - which is pretty good for dinner with fruit for dessert. If you include the wonton crisps (included below) add another point or so. Game plan: (if you already have the cooked chicken), (1) make noodles, (2) prepare dressing, (3) preheat oven for wonton crisps, (4) cut and season wonton wrappers, (5) chop vegetables (or take the shortcut and buy carrots and green peppers already cut up and cut remaining veggies), (6) bake wonton crips and prepare salad -- dinner is done in well under 30 minutes!
