Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a Fantasy salad with chicken? Prepare the products. Pre—boil and cool the chicken fillet, as well as the eggs - peel them from the shell. You can take any mushrooms. I have champignons, but oyster mushrooms or forest mushrooms are also suitable. Take cheese, first of all, delicious, natural, without milk fat substitutes. You can take the mayonnaise ready-made or cook it yourself.
Step 2:
Peel the onion and cut it into half rings.
Step 3:
Clean the mushrooms from dirt, wash and dry. Cut them into large pieces of any shape. Pre-boil and cool the forest mushrooms.
Step 4:
Put the mushrooms in a dry, preheated frying pan and fry them over low heat until excess water evaporates. Transfer the mushrooms to some container.
Step 5:
Then heat the vegetable oil in the same pan over medium heat, then fry the onion on it until transparent.
Step 6:
Add the already dry mushrooms to the onion and fry them together over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. At the end, salt the mushrooms to taste. Also remove the finished mushrooms from the pan, so they will cool down faster.
Step 7:
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. Cool and peel the eggs. While the mushrooms and onions are cooling, grate the eggs and cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 8:
Boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken breast? 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. Cut the cooled chicken fillet into medium cubes.
Step 9:
Now you can either mix all the ingredients of the salad together, or lay it out in layers: half fillet — mayonnaise — half eggs — mayonnaise — half cheese — all mushrooms — mayonnaise. Then repeat the layers, laying out the remaining products: fillet — mayonnaise — eggs — mayonnaise. Carefully sprinkle the top of the salad with the remaining cheese.
Step 10:
Decorate the salad with dill sprigs and flowers cut from egg white (I made the core from grated cheese). Of course, you can decorate it to your liking or not decorate at all. Put the salad in the refrigerator for a few hours so that it is well soaked. Then serve to the table. Bon appetit!
There are options in the recipe of this salad: someone adds boiled potatoes or pickled cucumbers to it, someone adds corn or green peas and even prunes.
Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
Buy fresh medium-sized mushrooms, snow-white color without spots, damage, rot smell. They should not be slippery to the touch. Thoroughly rinse the mushrooms from the ground under a stream of warm or cold water. Cut out the damaged places, if there are any. Miniature mushrooms up to 2 cm in size do not need to be cleaned at all, it is enough to rinse them well. Larger champignons are recommended to be cleaned from films.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
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.
