Mixing your chicken salad with the Thai peanut sauce does the trick. Whenever I make my Thai-flavored chicken salad, it goes with other food choices like rice, pasta, and so on. With this, I can have a mouthful.

Consider doing that as well – seeing that you have someone else to feed for the night. 

It’s less stressful to make and worth every bite!
