While the pan heats, line a plate with parchment paper. - Measure 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Set aside.
- When hot, add walnuts. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until light golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn.)
- Add brown sugar and measured water. Season with salt. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until sugar melts. Remove from heat.
- Transfer candied walnuts to prepared plate. (NOTE: Do not touch walnuts – they will be VERY hot.) Set aside to cool.
- Carefully wipe pan clean.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together cranberry spread, vinegar, mustard and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide salad between plates.

If you've opted to get chicken breasts, disregard instruction to cut into pieces. Sear in the same way the recipe instructs you to sear turkey, then increase the roast time to 12-14 min.**
