    In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups lettuce, 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed), and 1/2 cup dried cranberries.

    Peel and segment the 2 oranges over the bowl to catch the juice, then add the segments to the salad.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle with the 3 tablespoons olive oil and the reserved orange juice, then toss gently to coat.

    Shave the 1/2 cup parmesan cheese over the top and serve immediately.
