I was going to make tuna salad then discovered the canned chicken lurking in my pantry! Different from regular cooked chicken, quick and easy to put together when time is tight.

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate an hour or so to wakeup the flavors and rehydrate the craisins. Stir in some cooked, cooled bowtie pasta, for a salad, or serve on bread, rice cakes, with crackers or just as is with a side of fresh fruit or vegetables. . .Lin
