"On Hand" Chicken Salad

I'm a big fan of using what is on hand to create meals.  So this is what I rounded up for dinner:

leftover roasted deli chicken
apple
applewood smoked bacon
dried cranberries
lemon
salt
olive oil


I had picked up the chicken for dinner a couple of nights before.  I cleaned off the rest of the chicken left on the bone and shredded it in a mixing bowl, cooked 2 pieces of bacon and chopped up the apple.

 I stirred all these ingredients together with a generous handful of dried cranberries, added salt to taste, 2-3 Tbsp. of olive oil and the juice of one lemon.

It was a good quick dinner and great for lunch the next day with arugula from the garden (hooray for a good soaking rain).

The carcass was popped into the freezer until I can cook up some stock over the weekend.
