Crais-y Chicken Salad

I found a recipe online and I had to completely rework it to fit our needs and my fridge (too lazy to go shopping!). The result is amazing!

INGREDIENTS
4 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat (use leftovers or broil some breasts or tenders)
1 cup canola (or whatever safe you use) mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon season salt (read the labels - some are not GF not CF)
1 1/2 cups Craisens or dried cranberries
1 cup ground walnuts or pecans (I ground them because my kids are young, you can chop them if serving to adults)
ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise with paprika and seasoned salt. Blend in craisens, and nuts. Add chopped chicken, and mix well. Season with black pepper to taste. Chill 1 hour.
