Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). In a small bowl, mix olive oil and dried mixed herbs. Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray, brush with the herb oil, and season with salt and pepper.

While the chicken cools, prepare the mayo mixture. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix well. (Ingredients: mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice; Devices/Utensils: large mixing bowl, whisk)

Add the shredded chicken, diced red onion, diced celery, chopped cranberries, toasted almonds, and chopped parsley to the mayo mixture. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
