Thai Style Warm Chicken Salad With Chilli, Mint & Lime image

This is a fabulous recipe which is very quick to put together and even quicker to eat! It's been in the recipe folder on my computer for a while so I can't remember where it originally came from. I have actually added a few salad leaves in the past so feel free to play around with it.
