Meal Prep: Thai Chicken Salad

This salad is sweet, spicy, savory, crunchy… all of it. I like to use shortcuts where I can so I bought a rotisserie chicken and shredded up some of it but you can easily poach and shred some chicken breasts yourself (I’m just lazy). I also know you could make your own dressing but when Trader Joe’s makes a super spicy and tangy one, again… I’m lazy. I’m only making three salads this week but you could easily increase the portions/amounts to make 4-5 salads for the week. I hope you like this salad as much as I do.
