Sonoran Chicken Salad image

From the Sonoran Grill cookbook. A light salad with lemon/lime dijon dressing and a little "kick" from crushed red pepper and chile de arbol (not sure how much heat this adds - use your discretion). Prep time does not include cooking time for chicken or the one hour for the dressing to stand before serving. I love to use rotisserie chickens as I think they add flavor to the salad.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. The salad was still creamy and delicious.

I'm not a big fan of chipotle peppers, so I used a milder chili powder instead. The salad still had a nice flavor, but it wasn't as spicy.

This Sonoran chicken salad is a delightful dish that combines the flavors of the Southwest with the freshness of a classic chicken salad. The chipotle peppers add a subtle smokiness that pairs perfectly with the tangy lime dressing.
