Notes

  • Use cubed cooked chicken. You can cook your own chicken using your favorite method, or buy cubed chicken. Make sure that the chicken is plain, as certain flavors and seasonings could ruin the flavor of the salad.
  • Feel free to add or omit any ingredients as you please. Simply use what you like!
  • Leftover cranberry chicken salad can be stored in sealed containers in a refrigerator for up to 4 days.
