This is a great sandwich filling that they make at the diner in the hospital where I work, but I fancied it up a bit with some green onions and pecans. A great way to use up leftover chicken. Delicious!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump and firm, with a deep red color. Avoid any cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken: This will help to prevent the chicken from shredding and will make it easier to slice into thin strips.
- Chill the chicken salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the chicken salad more refreshing.
- Use a variety of greens: This will add color and texture to the chicken salad roll-ups. Some good options include spinach, romaine lettuce, and arugula.
