About
Ah, chicken salad, the classic lunch favorite, the sandwich filling staple, the mealtime magic with mayo! But after having the classic, you may want to change things up a little. Thai Chicken Salad delivers satisfaction with a new flare! The chicken is just as tender and savory as ever, but instead of mayonnaise, the chicken is coated in a sweet, spicy, tangy, and citrus bright sauce. Served over delightfully chewy sticky rice or crisp lettuce leaves, Thai Chicken Salad changes your lunch game without eating up your time, so you can focus on eating every last bite!
