The Best Chicken Salad You’ll Ever Make

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:
   • You can poach, bake, or grill the chicken beforehand. For poaching, simmer chicken breasts in water or chicken broth with salt, pepper, and a bay leaf until cooked through (about 15 minutes). Let it cool before shredding or dicing.
2. Prepare the Dressing:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, celery, red onion, dried cranberries, nuts, and herbs. Pour the dressing over the top and mix until well combined.
4. Chill:
   • Cover and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
   • Serve on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, wrapped in a tortilla, or with crackers for a delicious meal or snack.
