PREPARATION

COOKING THE CHICKEN

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Slice the chicken into strips.

Add the chicken strips to the pan and cook, flipping occasionally, until no longer pink on the inside. This should take 15 minutes.

BAKING THE ALMONDS

While the chicken is cooking, bake the slivered almonds in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 15 minutes).

PREPARING THE SALAD

Stir together almonds, chicken, dried cranberries, and remaining ingredients; serve immediately on lettuce leaves, or cover and chill up to 24 hours.
