Description

Delicious and crunchy chicken salad with a touch of sweetness. 


Ingredients

  • 2 cups of chicken breast - rotisserie-style
  • 1/2 cup of onion chopped small
  • 1/2 cup of celery chopped small
  • 1/4 cup of cranberries (dried)
  • 1/4 cup of walnuts (chopped)
  • 2 TBSP of Mayo with avocado oil or your regular mayo
  • 1 tsp of granulated garlic
  • 2 tsp of lemon juice (1/2 of a lemon squeezed)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. First, cook the chicken breast. You can buy it already cooked or take it from a whole rotisserie you made at home.
  2. Then cut up the chicken breast into small cubes. Cut the chickens into small cubes by slicing the breast then cross-cutting them.
  3. Prep all the other ingredients above.
  4. Prep the celery and make it the same small chopped size as the onion.
  5. When adding the cranberries, there are some brands that have larger than normal cranberries, adjust the quantity if you find that the cranberries are too large or too small.
  6. To chop up the walnuts into small pieces, we added them to a zipper plastic bag and used a meat tenderizer mallet to break them up. It worked nicely.
  7. Add the mayo to a large bowl with the salt and pepper. Add the granulated garlic and lemon juice and whisk (Affiliate Link) together.
  8. Add the remaining chopped ingredients to the bowl and mix to coat. Place in the refrigerator and let it cool for a 1/2 hour or so if you want or eat the way you want. Everything is cooked.
  9. Add to a salad or add to toasted bread for a sandwich. Enjoy

Notes

Add the skin of the rotisserie chicken breast or dark meat if you like the texture.
