Ingredients
You don’t need many ingredients to make a delicious cranberry chicken salad, but every item you use plays its own essential role. Gather these items: It’s a classic chicken salad with a festive, wintery vibe. Because cranberries and pecans put all recipes into the holiday category, right? But who are we kidding – this is a recipe we eat year-round. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch or are meal prepping for the week, this is the recipe you’ll want to make!
Chicken breasts: A hearty, protein base. You can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken, too! Celery: Essential for a satisfying crunch and subtle earthiness. Green onions: Adds a herbaceous freshness. Mayonnaise: Brings everything together, adding richness and moisture. Low-fat or regular both work. Dried cranberries: For a burst of tart sweetness. Toasted pecans: For crunch and nutty flavor. You can swap these for walnuts, if you’d like. Salt and pepper: To balance and enhance the flavors.
That’s it! You’ve just made yourself lunch!
