Recipe Tips:

• Shred the Chicken Well: Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces for better texture and easier eating.
• Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of chipotle pepper puree in the dressing to match your taste.
• Make the Dressing in Advance: You can prepare the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge. This helps the flavors to develop more.
• Don’t Overdress the Salad: Add the dressing just before serving to keep the salad from becoming soggy.
