Chef's Note

Lean protein plus tons of fiber and antioxidants (thanks cranberries, carrots, coconut, and raisins!) make this a nutrient dense, colorful and satiating dish.This salad can be served with or without chicken. This easy lunch or dinner can be made in under an hour by shredding the carrot salad while the chicken is being cooked and chilled.
