Best Chicken Salad Ever

I recently decided to try my hand at chicken salad.  I had been buying the cranberry chicken salad at Celebrity Bakery and figured that it might be cheaper if I made my own.  I combed the internet for recipes and finally had looked at a enough recipes that I adapted various ones into my own rendition.  Honestly, I think it is the best chicken salad ever and you can feel free to disagree.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans
1 golden delicious apple
3/4 cup mayonnaise
A dash of sugar
Olive oil for cooking

I like to start by doing all of my cutting.  I begin by finely chopping the pecans and putting them into a large bowl for mixing.  I then take the cranberries and give them a rough chop (so that I am taking the original cranberries and cutting them approximately in half).  Then I cut the golden delicious apple into tiny matchstick shapes.  I recently found a tool at Williams Sonoma that did it for me a lot easier (although I can't remember what it is called but it works like a cheese slicer or a zester).  Next I cook the chicken in a pan on the stove until done on the inside.  After the chicken has had a moment to cool, I cut it into tiny pieces (and I mean I spend a lot of time to cut it into tiny pieces).  I think roll those tiny pieces between my hands as I drop them into the mixing bowl.  Next I add the mayonnaise and the dash of sugar (you can use more mayo to get the right consistency).

I think this recipe made a nice, sweet, tasty meal and is best served with crackers.
