Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad of chicken breast, corn, cucumber and eggs? Prepare the products. Pre-boil the breast and eggs and cool. Wash the cucumber, drain the liquid from the can of corn. You can make mayonnaise yourself, homemade. Or use a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream 1:1.
Step 2:
Pre-boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken fillet? Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, dip the meat into it. Add salt. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes at a low boil over low heat. Then cool the fillets and cut into small cubes.
Step 3:
Cut the cucumber into the same medium-sized cubes. Be sure to try the cucumber before slicing, whether it is bitter — such a cucumber will spoil the whole dish. If the skin of a cucumber is rough and tough, cut it off.
Step 4:
Boil the eggs. 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. Cut the peeled eggs into cubes again.
Step 5:
Take a large flat plate. Place a saucepan with mayonnaise (or a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream) in the center. Lay out all the ingredients in segments, dividing the plate into 4 parts. Serve the salad to the table. Mix the salad directly at the table. Bon appetit!
This salad can be laid out in layers using a cooking ring. The sequence of layers is as follows: chicken-cucumber-corn-eggs. Brush each layer with mayonnaise.
You can add salt to the salad, despite the mayonnaise, it seemed to me that it was needed. See according to your taste.
The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).
