Cranberry Honey Glazed Walnut Chicken Salad

This is not your typical chicken salad.  Inspired by a local restaurant, I came up with my own version of the best chicken salad I have ever made.  Just take a few minutes to glaze your walnuts and this salad comes together in minutes.  Serve on pita bread, in a wrap or as a simple salad on romaine leaves.

Honey Glazed Walnuts
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter 3 Tbsp. honey
Melt butter in a medium size saucepan.  Add walnuts and honey and stir until fragrant and thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.  Spread out on parchment paper or lightly sprayed foil to cool.  

You won't be able to stop munching on these!

2 cups cooked, cubed chicken 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup Honey Glazed Walnuts Salt and Pepper to taste

Enjoy!
