Cook and shred or dice the chicken breast, then let it cool completely.
Chop the celery and slice the almonds if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, dried cranberries, celery, and almonds.
In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture.
Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve chilled on lettuce, in sandwiches, wraps, or with crackers.
