Spicy Honey Chicken Salad with Honey Citrus Vinaigrette

This is a perfect summer meal! Tastes so good and is just filling enough without being heavy. Plus all my kids really liked it and ate it all up!! Bonnie gave me the chicken recipe originally for the crockpot but it's super tasty grilled. The grilled chicken tastes great in this salad but would also taste great on it's own or in other mexican dishes like chicken tacos.
