This classic chicken salad recipe is easy and fast. It only takes around 35 minutes to prepare (includes 30 minutes cooking) and is healthy and low-fat as well. You can easily freeze the left-overs if you have any and store them for up to 3 months or longer.

You can also make this a seasonal dish if you like by adding cranberries in the winter or other fruits in the summer, like grapes, peaches, strawberries, or whatever you like.

You can scale this recipe up or down as you like with no problems as well, but remember that you can always add more salt but you can't take it away.

If you server this on a sandwich be sure to include a slice of fresh tomato as well, and maybe a pickle or two.
