I love love love Starbucks' tarragon chicken salad. It took me two sandwiches to really warm up to it, but now it's my favorite savory offering there. I know it uses fresh chopped tarragon, cranberries (dried and sweetened cranberries that have been plumped from what I can tell), and chunks of white meat chicken plus the usual mayo. Beyond that, I'm not sure. The bread is unimportant here - just looking for the filling recipe.

If any of you are Starbucks associates who can list the ingredients for me, that would be awesome - every time I go to Starbucks the past few times, they've been sold out of the sandwich.

I ordered a tarragon plant just for this recipe!
