Ingredients

Leftover chicken (Costco or roasted) or even turkey
A handful of dried cranberries or more, to your liking
A handful of pecans, cashews, pistachios, almonds or mixed nuts

Mayonnaise
Salt to taste if necessary
Black pepper to tast

Your favorite bread
Lettuce
Tomato slices

Optional
1 stalk of celery, finely chopped.

What To Do

Mix everything together, including chopped celery if you are using it, and add mayonnaise to hold it all together. Add salt (if necessary) and pepper to your taste. 

Toast your favorite bread, pile on some of the chicken salad, and add lettuce and tomato slices.

Notes and Talking Story

  • Equally good wrapped or toasted as a quesadilla.
  • A great way to use leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
  • I use mixed nuts from Costco, which includes pecans, pistachios, almonds and cashews, and no salt.
  • No one in the house likes celery so I have (grudgingly) made it optional.
  • Another great flexi recipe.
  • Don't have dried cranberries? Swap in raisins, currants, or even chopped up dried apricots.
  • Allergic to nuts? Consider adding sunflower seeds or pepitas (pumpkin seeds).
