Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make chicken salad with pineapple layers? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. You will need a medium-sized chicken fillet, two chicken eggs (preferably selected), peeled walnuts, delicious hard cheese.
Step 2:
How to properly boil chicken fillet? Pour 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan. When it boils, add salt (about 0.5 tablespoons of salt) and send the chicken there. For taste, you can add black pepper peas (3-4 pieces) and bay leaf. Cook over low heat under a lid until tender (about 20 minutes after boiling). If the fillet is easily pierced with a knife, then it's ready. Cool without removing from the broth so that the meat does not dry out. Cut into small cubes.
Step 3:
Hard-boil the eggs (8-10 minutes after boiling), cool, pour cold water. Then peel off the shell. Cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
This time I used fresh pineapple. And so I even liked it more than with canned. It is important to cut it very finely, as it is quite dense and hard. If you use canned fruit, then remove the pineapple rings from the syrup, let the liquid drain, and then slice
Step 5:
Grate the hard cheese on a medium-sized grater.
Step 6:
How to form a salad? I use separate small salad bowls. You can take portioned creamers, one large salad bowl, or put the salad in a cooking ring, setting it on a flat dish. Put the sliced chicken in the first layer. Lubricate it with a thin layer of mayonnaise or make a mesh by squeezing mayonnaise out of a pastry bag.
Step 7:
Lay out the pineapples with the second layer and also apply a mayonnaise mesh.
Step 8:
Next, distribute the diced eggs – mayonnaise. Put the cheese on top – and mayonnaise again.
Step 9:
Dry the walnuts in a dry frying pan and finely chop with a knife or chop in a blender. Sprinkle them on top of the salad. Put the dish in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for impregnation. Then serve on the table. Bon appetit!
It will turn out very tasty if the chicken is not boiled, but baked in foil with spices.
How to bake chicken fillet? In a small container, mix the appropriate spices. Suitable Provencal herbs, dried basil, garlic passed through the press (1-2 cloves), salt, pepper. Pour olive oil (1 tbsp. l.) with a high smoking temperature. Stir the mixture. Coat the chicken fillet with this marinade from all sides. Leave for 20 minutes to marinate. Wrap the fillets in foil. Bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for about 30 minutes. The finished meat will be easily pierced with a fork or knife and clear juice will flow out.
The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).
Be sure to wash the eggs before use, since even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. Recipe options you can see
here.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
