Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients. You can use boiled or pan-fried chicken, but it tastes best baked, so preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Rinse the chicken, pat it dry with a paper towel, and rub it with salt and pepper.
Step 2:

Wrap the chicken in foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, then let it cool. Shred the cabbage. Put it in a bowl, salt it, and lightly scrunch it with your hands. Cut the cucumber into thin strips and grate the cheese on a fine grater. Dice the cooled chicken.
Step 3:

For the dressing, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, mustard, salt, ground black pepper, and sugar. Mix well.
Step 4:

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss. The chicken salad with spring cabbage, cucumber, and cheese is ready. Serve it right away.

Every cook treats their salad repertoire as a key part of their kitchen arsenal, yet always dreams of putting one together fast and surprising everyone with something beautiful and original, so they're forever on the lookout for new ideas. I hope you'll enjoy this simple but tasty salad!
