Stolichny classic salad with chicken

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a classic Metropolitan salad? Prepare the products. Boil potatoes, chicken, carrots and eggs beforehand and cool. Cook vegetables in a uniform, wash them thoroughly with a brush before cooking. Cucumbers in this salad will be pickled, and mayonnaise, according to the classics, is Provencal, which you can cook yourself. Flip the peas into a colander to remove excess liquid.

2. Step 2:

   

   How to boil chicken fillet? Boil water in a saucepan. Send the washed fillet to boiling water. Add salt, reduce the heat and cook the meat for about 30 minutes, removing the resulting foam with a spoon. Pierce the fillet with the tip of a knife. If it pierces freely, it means it's ready. Remove the fillets from the pan and cool. Cut the boiled chicken fillet and pickled cucumbers into cubes. Wash the green onions, dry them and finely chop them.

   How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. Peel the eggs from the shell, then chop them into small cubes with a knife. You can use a special mesh vegetable cutter. Pour the eggs into a bowl with the salad.

    To serve on the table, you can form portions of a neat shape in the form of a slide. To do this, fill a small bowl with salad, tamp it lightly and turn it over on a plate. Then lift the bowl, and the formed slide of salad will remain on the plate. You can lay out a salad using a cooking ring. Or just serve it in portions in cremans.
