1 ounce
Dried Cranberries

Apple
2 tablespoon

Scallions

Dijon Mustard
teaspoon (tsp)
Black Pepper
1 teaspoon (tsp)
Cooking Oil
teaspoon (tsp)
Salt
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.
Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to let cool.
Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.
In a small bowl, combine cranberries and 1 TBSP warm water (2 TBSP for 4 servings); set aside.
Halve, core, and dice apple into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Roughly chop walnuts. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mustard, and mayonnaise until combined; season with salt and pepper.
Once chicken has rested 5 minutes, roughly dice into bite-size pieces.
To bowl with dressing, add diced chicken, cranberries (draining first), half the walnuts, half the apple, and as many scallion whites as you like. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Divide lettuce leaves between plates and fill with chicken salad. Top with remaining walnuts, scallion greens, and as much remaining apple as you like. Serve.
