Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of avocado oil. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on each side. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown on each side. Cook the chicken all the way through until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a small skillet, melt the ghee over medium-low heat. Add in the walnuts and salt. Stir/toss to coat; spread nuts in a single layer in pan. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 6 minutes. Be watchful, careful to not allow nuts to burn.
To assemble the salad, layer the mixed greens in a large bowl. Then add the toasted walnuts, cranberries, sliced grilled chicken, and pieces of apples.
Drizzle with dressing.
Honey Lemon Vinaigrette
Add all of the ingredients to a wide-mouth mason jar and blend together with an immersion blender. If you don’t have an immersion blender, feel free to use a regular blender. Blend for 30 seconds or until combined. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Shake together to mix before serving.

How to cook:

Gather the ingredients.
Pound the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Place a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook them for about 6 minutes, or until browned on one side.
Flip and continue cooking for about 5 minutes longer, or until cooked through. (Do not overcook.) The minimum safe temperature for chicken is 165 F. Set aside
Put the nuts, if using, in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking the skillet, stirring, and turning the nuts constantly until they are lightly browned and aromatic. This should take 3 to 4 minutes.
Immediately pour the toasted nuts onto a plate to stop the cooking process.
Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized chunks.
In a bowl, combine the chicken, cranberries, celery, red onion, apple, and walnuts, if using.
In a cup or small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the lemon juice, curry powder, if using, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Stir the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken, adding more mayonnaise as needed for moisture and for flavor.
Serve the chicken salad on lettuce-lined plates with slices of avocado. Or line bread with lettuce leaves and spread the chicken salad on the lettuce.
