This 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!

CRANBERRIES AND CHICKEN SALAD



Cranberries and Chicken Salad image

This is my favorite salad ever. The blue cheese gives just a hint of the flavor that is brought out by the balsamic dressing. This salad is almost identical to the TGI Fridays pecan crusted salad, but the chicken is not rolled and breaded in pecans and bread crumbs and fried. It's a healthier version of it.
