- Add your chopped cooked chicken to the big bowl and stir it in gently so each piece gets a good coat of that yummy dressing.
- Now, mix in the diced celery, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans. Fold them in carefully to keep the crunchy texture.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. When ready to serve, spoon the mixture onto wraps, add lettuce, then roll and serve.
