This Cranberry Chicken Salad is creamy, crunchy and full of that perfect sweet and savory combination. Juicy chicken, tart dried cranberries, crisp celery and buttery pecans come together with a creamy dressing for an easy lunch that feels anything but boring.
For 1 large serving, use 6 oz cooked chicken breast, 2 tbsp dried cranberries, ½ cup finely diced celery and 2 tbsp chopped pecans.
For the creamy dressing, mix 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1½ tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey, 1 tbsp water, black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Chop the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces and add it to a bowl with the cranberries, celery and pecans. Stir the dressing ingredients together until smooth, then gently fold it into the chicken mixture. Keep the chicken chunky so every bite has plenty of texture. Chill for a few minutes before serving.
The combination of savory chicken, sweet cranberries, crunchy celery and pecans is seriously good. One serving is approximately 465 calories, 48g protein, 25g carbs and 21g fat, depending on the brands you use.
Would you add chopped apple to this one?
