Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make Lady Salad with Chicken? Gather the ingredients. The lineup is very simple—in its classic form it's just a few items. Chicken breast is the best choice here, since it's leaner than other parts of the bird. Rinse the breast in clean cold water, put it in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and simmer until cooked through, about 30 minutes over medium heat.
Step 2:

Drain the broth (save it for soup or another dish) and let the chicken cool. Pull the cooled meat off any bones and cut it into small cubes.
Step 3:

Wash the eggs with soap to keep any germs on the shell from getting inside. Put them in a pot and hard-boil for 10 minutes over medium heat. To make them easier to peel, drop them into a bowl of ice water right after cooking. Peel the eggs and cut them into small cubes with a knife or an egg slicer. Don't add too many, though—a couple is plenty, so the salad doesn't get heavy with egg.
Step 4:

Wash the fresh cucumber and cut it into small cubes. This refined salad isn't meant to have onion in it—a lady and an onion just don't mix. But if you can't picture a salad without it, add some onion that you've first quick-pickled in vinegar and sugar to mellow its sharp smell.
Step 5:

Rinse the fresh dill well under running water, dry it on a paper towel, and chop it finely. Add it to the bowl with everything else.
Step 6:

Season the salad with salt to taste and a pinch of ground allspice if you like. Dress it with light plain yogurt. Toss, let it chill in the refrigerator, and serve. Enjoy!

The salad looks nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
How do you hard-boil eggs so they don't crack? Start them in cold water over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then transfer to cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
