1. You can toast your own almonds either in a frying pan or in the oven. Be careful to watch them, though, because they will burn quickly.
2. In a medium bowl, gently combine chicken breast, toasted almonds, dried cranberries, Miracle Whip Light, celery, onion, salt, and pepper until all is well coated.
3. Place one-fourth of the mixture on each of four slices of bread. Top with a lettuce leaf and another slice of bread. Enjoy!

This was very simple to throw together and have lunch ready in a hurry which is great for the busy mom. I really liked the addition of the cranberries and almonds in this. The crunch of the almonds along with the onion and celery was really good and the cranberries offered something a little sweet. I doubled the recipe and have lunch for two days now. Also, I used seasoned salt instead of plain table salt and it was great. Thanks for a quick and easy lunch Backwoods Foodie! Made for PAC Spring 2014.
