Meanwhile, slice the cooked chicken.
Arrange lettuce on plates to serve. Top it with chicken, cranberries, pecans, and salad dressing.

Use either cooked chicken or turkey for this salad.
The pecans and salad dressing can be prepared up to a day or two ahead.
Assemble the salad just before serving to keep the lettuce fresh.
