Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with fried chicken? Prepare the products that will be required for the recipe. In order for the finished dish to look more appetizing and bright, it is possible to use Bulgarian pepper of different colors. First of all, boil the hard-boiled eggs and cool them.
Step 2:
Rinse the chicken breast and dry it with paper napkins. Cut each piece of meat lengthwise into two plates. Sprinkle with your favorite spices and salt to taste on both sides. I used a pinch of smoked paprika, ground peppers, garlic powder and dried basil. Rub the spices over the surface of the fillet and leave to marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Step 3:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Fry the chicken on both sides over high heat until tender and until an appetizing golden crust appears. It will take quite a bit of time (5-10 minutes). Do not overdo the fillet in the pan, otherwise it will become dry.
Step 4:
Put the fried pieces in a separate plate and cool.
Step 5:
Rinse vegetables and lettuce leaves. Cut the skin off the cucumbers if necessary. Peel the eggs from the shell, cut the bell peppers into two parts and remove the seeds with the core.
Step 6:
Thoroughly dry each lettuce leaf. Cut the sheets arbitrarily into medium-sized pieces. Cut the cooled chicken into thin cubes with a sharp knife or chop it with your hands as it is more convenient for you. Send the salad and fillets to a deep, suitable-sized container.
Step 7:
Cut the cucumbers into thin circles or semicircles, and chop the bell pepper into large strips or cubes. Send it to the salad bowl.
Step 8:
Cut the eggs into small slices and add to all the ingredients in the bowl.
Step 9:
For a richer taste, you can add onions to the list of ingredients. A red salad onion, sliced thinly, will look bright and beautiful. Add mayonnaise, salt to taste and dry spices to the bowl. Mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream or natural yogurt.
Step 10:
Before serving, mix the salad and garnish with a few sprigs of parsley or dill.
Any green salad leaves are suitable for salad preparation: iceberg, romano, spinach, lettuce, frisse, etc.
Bon appetit!
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.
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.
The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.
