Chicken Salad

There are MANY recipes for chicken salad, but this is my spin on it. I could eat this two or three times a week. I really really really love chicken salad.

Ingredients:

*1 large chicken breast boiled and cut into a small dice (or you could roast it. extra flavor!)
*1/2 of a Fuji apple, diced
*1/2 c. dried cranberries
*1/2 c. slivered honey roasted almonds
*1 celery stalk finely diced
*1/2 to 1 c. mayo (I used the olive oil kind)
*1 tsp lemon juice
*handful of Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
*salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl add mayo, lemon juice, and parsley. Mix well and set aside. In a large bowl add chicken, apple, cranberries, almonds, and celery. Pour dress on top and fold into ingredients. Fold carefully to prevent chicken from breaking up. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour. Serve on a buttered croissant or just eat you favorite cracker.

Easy peasy! Enjoy!
