Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, diced red bell pepper, and diced red onion.
Add the chipotle mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, honey, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl.
Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
For optimal flavor, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, giving the flavors time to meld.
Serve this versatile salad in a sandwich, in lettuce wraps, or as a topping on a bed of greens.

Notes

This recipe assumes the chicken is pre-cooked; rotisserie or grilled chicken works well.
Adjust honey and lime juice to taste for sweetness and tanginess.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
