That's where todays recipe came from. Not only is it cheap, it's incredibly delicious!! I did add some celery and onion to her recipe cause I like the crunch!
I'll warn you, this is not pretty in the bowl. Luckily it's highly tasty on the lips! It was all I could do not to eat more than one sandwich!! I had another for lunch the next day though.

I love chicken salad I've had it with dried cranberried in them but never with cranberry sauce! I will have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteCranberry sauce and chicken sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish!!
ReplyDeleteI love those Arnolds breads - so yummy! Thanks for the great dinner idea:)
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of Thanksgiving - ooh it is right around the corner! I love "salad" sandwiches! thanks for sharing this at Two for Tues!
ReplyDeleteI love cranberry
ReplyDeleteI guess that really makes good sense as a combo, you know how americans love turkey and cranberry, so why not chicken! Thank you for sharing today with Two for Tuesday.

The cranberry sauce in it makes it sound delicious. I agree with you about the celery and onion, I always need to have a little bit of crunch to my food.
ReplyDeleteI like chicken salad w/ dried cranberries...so I can imagine this would taste good. Look kinda pretty, actually... thanks for sharing w/ t4t this week =)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I have enjoyed making things I find on your blog.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
What a unique combination. I think adding the crunchiness of the celery and onion was a great idea!

That is a lovely recipe - chicken and cranberry go so well together! It's a nice twist on ordinary chicken salad.
ReplyDeleteCan you wrap up a few and send them on over??? I'm getting hungry!

i love your honesty "its not pretty" lol
ReplyDeletebut the not so pretty stuff usually tastes amazing! mmmm!
I made a chicken dish with a cranberry topping and it was ugly but it tasted so good. Looks can be deceiving.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I have to check the $5 Dinner website out!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I am laughing because I had a Thanksgiving turkey dinner sandwich this weekend in boston and it reminded me how much I adore the taste of fowl and cranberry! I would make this with home made mayo and I just made these great pretzel rolls that are a bit sweet and would go with it as well. Food color is important isnt it? Pairing the pink with brown and green probably helped! Thanks for posting on the two for tuesday hop this week! :) Alex@amoderatelife
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good and the price is right!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love cranberry sauce and chicken salad is a fave. Thanks for a new twist.
ReplyDeleteMmm cranberries. I'm already swooning.
ReplyDeleteI have four bags of frozen cranberries in my freezer! Time to make some cranberry sauce to put in this salad!
I would have never thought that you were eating chicken!! I do love cranberry sauce though, sounds like a great combo!
ReplyDeleteCranberry and chicken is one of the best combos! Sometimes the ugliest food is the best.
ReplyDeleteDebbi, do you fix yourself a totally different lunch then the daycare? Breakfast too? I've tried that and it's so hard. Time consuming too. I was just curious. I'm not sure about chicken and cranberry together but I know I like them seperate. I make my own cranberry sauce so could easily add all the other goodness to make this. I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbi for all your good ideas, thoughts, recipes and more. Take care and God Bless!!
This sounds great!
