chicken salad with cranberries and almonds

chicken salad with cranberries and almonds
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lemon, zested
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®), or more to taste


  1. Place chicken breasts in a saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Cover with 1 inch of water and add bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  2. Drain chicken and cool until easily handed. Shred with 2 forks.
  3. Mix chicken, apple, almonds, cranberries, green onions, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl. Add creamy salad dressing and mix until combined.
