There are a lot of chicken salad recipes out there, but this one is definitely a keeper. It's prepared with chicken, dried cranberries, almonds, celery and mayonnaise.
3 c. cooked chicken, chopped*
3/4 c. mayonnaise
1 T. lemon juice
1/3 c. dried cranberries, chopped
1/2 c. sliced almonds
1 celery stalk, diced
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Place all ingredients in a bowl; stir until combined thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve.
Keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
6 servings.
* Rotisserie chicken, left over chicken, canned chicken, or poached chicken breasts can be used. Poaching the chicken yields the juiciest chicken.
To poach, bring a pot of salted water or chicken broth and the chicken breasts to a boil; reduce to a simmer; let chicken cook until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
