    How to cook chicken breast properly? Pour about 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan. When it boils, add salt (about 0.5 tablespoons of salt) and send the meat there. For taste, you can add pepper peas (3-4 pieces) and bay leaf. Cook under the lid (about 20 minutes after boiling). If the fillet is easily pierced with a knife, then it's ready. In order for the meat to retain its juiciness, cool it in the broth. Then take it out, dry it with paper napkins. Cut into small cubes.

  3. Step 3:

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Prepare the sauce. In a separate container, mix mayonnaise and sour cream. Lightly whisk the mixture with a fork. Season the salad and mix again.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    On a flat dish, you can spread out a washed and dried leaf salad with paper towels. Put the salad on it with a slide, give it an oval shape. Sprinkle with chopped herbs. Put green, yellow, and then red pepper on top in turn, as in a traffic light. Garnish with parsley leaves. Let the salad soak for 20 minutes and serve. Enjoy your meal!

You can add Korean carrots to the salad. It will not only add color to the dish, but also sharpness to the taste.

I recommend cooking mayonnaise yourself, it will be tastier and healthier. Options for homemade mayonnaise recipes you find it here

If for some reason you don't eat mayonnaise, season the salad only with sour cream or natural yogurt without additives.

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way to defrost chicken read in  article about proper defrosting of products .
