Step 1

Start with cooked chicken. You can use grilled, air-fried roasted, or even leftover rotisserie chicken. Chop or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. You'll need about 2-3 cups of chicken for this recipe.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, a generous half cup of dried cranberries, and a half cup of sliced almonds. These quantities can be adjusted according to your taste preferences.

Step 3

Add about a half cup of finely chopped celery for a fresh crunch.

Step 4

Add chopped green onions, chives, or even a little parsley for extra flavor and a pop of color if desired.

Step 5

For the best flavor, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 6

Serve the Cranberry Almond Chicken Salad alone, atop a bed of fresh greens, as a sandwich filling, or wrapped in a tortilla. It's versatile and works well for various meals.
