- Ensure the chicken breasts are fully cooked and then shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces for easier mixing and eating.
- Dice the apple and celery into uniform pieces to ensure even distribution of crunch and flavor throughout the salad.
- Soak the dried cranberries in warm water for a few minutes to plump them up if they seem too dry.
- Use plain Greek yogurt to control the flavor balance; you can add a touch of honey or lemon juice if desired for a sweet or tangy twist.
- Mix all ingredients gently to avoid mashing the apples and celery; you want to maintain their crisp texture.
- Serve the chicken salad on apple slices or in endive leaves for a creative presentation and added crunch.
- Prepare the salad in advance and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
