In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced green onions, dried cranberries, toasted sliced almonds, chopped toasted pecans, and chopped fresh parsley. Set aside.

In a separate small bowl, add the lemon zest and freshly cracked black pepper. Using your hands, massage the lemon zest and black pepper together for about 30 seconds. This helps to release the aromatic oils from the lemon zest, enhancing the flavor.

To the small bowl with the lemon zest and pepper, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and fine sea salt. If using, stir in the optional lemon pepper seasoning now. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

Pour the prepared creamy lemon dressing over the chicken mixture in the large bowl.

Gently toss all ingredients until the chicken and other components are thoroughly coated with the dressing. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Serve immediately with crackers, on your favorite slice of toast, or as a sandwich with crisp lettuce. Store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
