Smoked Chicken Salad image

Smoked chicken is given a husky taste that complements the inherent sweetness of the fowl and brings a hearty note to the pasta it's combined with. The sweeter-smelling the wood used, the more alluring the flavor it leaves behind. Hickory or fruitwoods, maple, oak and alder chips, dried grapevine trimmings or herb branches lend a sweet, firm flavor to food cooked in a closed container above it.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken salad, but this recipe is really good. The smoked chicken adds a nice flavor and the cranberries and walnuts give it a nice crunch.
