Chicken Salad With Thai-Flavored Dressing image

With rotisserie chickens so readily available, it's easy to buy a pre-roasted bird and pull the meat off the bones for use in recipes that would otherwise likely be too complicated for a weeknight meal. A little shredding and chopping is all it takes to serve up this delicious Thai-flavored chicken salad.

The chicken was dry and overcooked.

The salad was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred a more savory dressing.
