CHICKEN-CRANBERRY-PECAN SALAD
I love this flavorful salad, inspired by “emmaxwell’s” recipe on allrecipes.com. Cook the chicken breast according to Paula’s recipe for “ultimate chicken breast.” When prepared using the mock “sous vide” method, the chicken salad is awesome due to the very moist, tender and flavorful chicken. The flavors from the cranberries, pecans, veggies and seasoning salt are excellent. Though this salad has 1 ½ cups of mayo, it is not drowning in it. The salad will taste salty immediately after you make it. Overnight, the salt blends better and it is a world of deliciousness!
