Instructions

Sauce: Whisk together all ingredients for the Sauce in a medium bowl (except for garnishes) and set aside. *This can be done a day or two in advance.
Cook: Cook spaghetti in large pot of salted boiling water to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and rinse in cold water. Transfer drained noodles into large serving bowl. Sprinkle 2 TB sesame oil onto cold noodles and toss to coat.
Toss: Add cucumber, garlic, carrots, scallions, and shredded chicken to the noodles. Toss well. Whisk sauce again and pour over noodle mixture; toss well to ensure even coating.
Serve: Divide into serving plates and serve at room temp. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and/or chopped peanuts if desired.

Notes

For meal prep: The sauce can be prepared a day or two in advance and kept in airtight container in fridge. Vegetables can be sliced and chicken can be shredded a day or two ahead. Entire dish can be assembled the night before serving (we recommend tossing sliced cucumbers in right before serving.)
In lieu of rotisserie chicken, boil 2-3 chicken breasts or thighs in salted water until cooked through; shred the cooked chicken.
