For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a dash of hot sauce. Serve this Chipotle Chicken Salad on toasted bread with sliced tomatoes and fresh basil, as a filling for lettuce wraps, or as a topping for crackers. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with one or two peppers and add more to taste. If you don't have feta cheese on hand, you can substitute it with goat cheese or Monterey Jack.
