Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad

This past Friday, for an evening poolside picnic, I made Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad.  It was quite simple, and since my family enjoyed it, I thought I'd share my newest culinary attempt with you.  As this is something I threw together, you may need to tweek the recipe for your own personal tastes.
