This cranberry chicken salad is a great sandwich filling that they make at the diner in the hospital where I work, but I fancied it up a bit with some green onions and pecans. A great way to use up leftover chicken. Delicious!

Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 cooked chicken breast halves, chopped
½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
2 green onions, chopped
½ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
¼ green apple, shredded
¼ cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pinch salt and black pepper, or to taste
Directions
Mix together chicken and mayonnaise in a bowl, stir to coat well. Stir in green onions, dried cranberries, apple, pecans, lime juice, dill weed, salt, and pepper.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for several hours or overnight (the flavor just gets better).
Recipe Tip
For a fresher flavor, use 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill instead of dried.
