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.
