- 1/4 cup celery (sliced)

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a medium bowl combine the chicken with celery, mayonnaise, chicken broth, cranberries and red onion, and stir until combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the Apples: When ready to eat, slice the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices, then remove the seeds. (I used a piping tip). It’s best to eat right away so they don’t turn brown, but if you are planning to eat later, you can toss the apple slices in a little lemon juice.
- Assemble: Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto each apple slice and enjoy!
Notes
- VariationsOne of the great things about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily customize it to suit your dietary needs or taste preferences. Here are a few suggestions:
- Swap the Protein: Not a fan of chicken? Try using turkey or tuna.Add More Veggies: Boost the nutritional content by adding shredded carrots or chopped broccoli.
- Add Nuts: Pecans or walnuts would be great here.
- Change Up the Fruit: While apples are great, pear slices also work beautifully with this salad.
