1. Cook chicken breast thoroughly and let cool: To cook chicken, first pound out chicken breast a bit to the same thickness by carefully using a kitchen mallet or the back of a heavy jar. Cook in a nonstick pan over medium heat with about a tsp of olive oil, about 4 minutes per side or until cooked through completely without any pink in the middle. Cut chicken breast into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Soak cranberries in a bowl of warm water to cover 15 minutes, then drain well in a sieve and chop. Whisk together oil and lime juice in a medium bowl, then add cranberries, remaining ingredients, and salt and pepper to taste, tossing to coat.
