Autumn Chicken Salad

I love chicken salad, all variations (except one with Tarragon, ew). Apple season has arrived and the orchards around here are teeming with the crisp, juicy variety. Ginger Gold, Golden Delicious, Jona Gold, Gala...my mouth is watering just thinking about them. For lunch I made a really good chicken salad with fresh herbs, apples, dried cranberries, and chopped almonds. Recipe as follows:

1 rotisserie chicken, chopped into bite size pieces

1 cup of mayonnaise

2 celery stalks finely diced, including the leaves

1 crisp apple, cored and diced into small pieces

1/2 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped

1/2 cup of salted roasted almonds, roughly chopped

2 sprigs of thyme, 1 of rosemary, a small bunch of parsley with stems removed and roughly chopped (can sub 1 tbsp of dried herbs)

Fresh ground salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients until well mixed, start with 3/4 cup of mayo and add more as you need it.
