This Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad is cozy, creamy, crunchy, and so flavorful — the perfect winter lunch.

Made with chopped rotisserie chicken, cranberries, toasted pecans, celery, fresh herbs, and a creamy maple Dijon dressing. So easy and so good.

Ingredients

Chicken Salad:
	•	2 cups finely chopped rotisserie chicken
	•	⅓ cup dried cranberries
	•	¼ cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
	•	½ cup diced celery
	•	¼ cup green onions, chopped
	•	1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
	•	½ tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Creamy Maple Dijon Dressing:
	•	½ cup mayonnaise
	•	¼ cup Greek yogurt
	•	1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
	•	1 tablespoon maple syrup
	•	1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
	•	½ teaspoon onion powder
	•	¼ teaspoon garlic powder
	•	Salt + black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Toast the pecans:
Add roughly chopped pecans to a dry pan over medium heat. Toast for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat to cool.

2. Combine the salad:
In a bowl, mix the chopped chicken, cranberries, toasted pecans, celery, parsley, and dill.

3. Make the dressing:
Whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, maple syrup, Dijon, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

4. Mix together:
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is coated. Let it sit 10–15 minutes for the flavors to blend.

5. Serve:
I served my chicken salad on warm rosemary garlic focaccia, but it’s delicious on its own, in a sandwich, or over greens. Enjoy!
