It has become a tradition for us to entertain guests in our home during the holidays. When I was younger, my parents would drag my brother and I to every single relatives house in a single day. All the while, we were wishing that we were home to play with our own new toys. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t do that to my own children.

So, we do all of our visiting before the holidays. Since some family members don’t mind traveling to see us and our children, we open our home up to them on the actual holiday.

I love this because I don’t get to entertain guests nearly as much as I’d like! I always make a variety of snacks and finger foods to offer, and every year, I try to change things up a bit.

2 Boxes of Triscuit Crackers

This year, I’m making these Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Bites that I serve on Triscuit crackers. This easy recipe takes a simple, classic chicken salad and adds cranberries for sweetness and chopped walnuts for crunch! The flavors all work so well together!

Triscuit Crackers on the Shelf at the Grocery Store

Of course, I do all my shopping at our nearby Walmart. You will find a variety of Triscuit flavors at Walmart to suite everyone’s preferences. I am kind of a “plain Jane.” I grew up eating the original flavor Triscuit crackers. That will always be my favorite flavor, but the Garden Herb variety is really good too – especially with this Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Bites recipe!

I was also happy to see that Triscuit crackers are now non-GMO and, as always, baked from 100% whole grain wheat.

How to Make Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Bites

Prep!

Shredded Chicken in a Silver Bowl

To make this Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad Bites recipes super easy, I recommend shredding leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken. However, if neither of those is an option, you will need to cook the chicken first. I will usually do this in a pressure cooker to save time and make it super easy to shred.

    I love Triscuits! Mom’s favorite is the olive oil / rosemary combination … any of them would be wonderful with this chicken salad. Can’t wait to mix up a batch … maybe during movie time this weekend.
