This spicy Thai chicken salad is a great flavorful and healthy alternative to the typical heavy mayo-based chicken salad recipes. Packed with peanut-y awesomeness, the sesame peanut dressing is loaded with flavor and makes an amazing sauce for a guilt-free chicken wrap. The herbs bring an unexpected pop of freshness to the sandwich while the sriracha adds a flair of spice. And if you don’t like heat, leave off the sriracha and chilis and add a splash of lime juice instead. 

Here's a few tips to make this sandwich even more awesome:

1. If you don’t have rotisserie chicken on hand, try boiling two breasts and shredding them with a fork.
2. Don’t eat meat but still want to give this sandwich wrap a try, don’t worry! Try swapping out the sandwich with tempeh, grilled tofu, or broiled cauliflower.
3. If you don’t have time to make the sesame peanut dressing by hand, simply buy the packaged variety from the store, taste it, and doctor it up with fresh lime juice, coconut milk, or sweet chili sauce.
