So this series on using a $5 chicken for 3 meals is stretching out over a long period of time, mostly due to my scatter-brained-ness. (yes that’s a new word!) I came up with this cranberry pecan chicken salad recipe after seeing a similar version at Sam’s… but it was around $14.
It was a complete snap to pull together- especially because I used the meat from a $4.88 rotisserie chicken- and according to my husband, “the best chicken salad ever”! (no bias at all of course! 😉 ) I also made it for a small group of church planters’ wives that I hosted for dinner last week and they liked it, too.
It’s only 4 ingredients and makes for an easy dinner or tasty addition to a baby shower or summer picnic. I used the 2 chicken breasts the first time I made it, and a combo of white and dark meat the second time. Either way is delicious!
- 2 cooked and seasoned chicken breasts, chopped
- ⅓-1/2 cup maynonaisse
- ½ cup cranberries
- ½ cup chopped, toasted pecans
- Mix all ingredients well.
- Chill before serving.
