Preparation
- Prepare all the ingredients from the list for making salad "Birch" with prunes. Boil the chicken breast in salted water with the addition of onion, allspice, and bay leaf. After the meat is cooked, let it cool in the broth; this way the meat will be juicy. Boil the eggs hard.
- For the salad, the prunes should be pitted.
- Pour boiling water over the prunes. Leave for five to ten minutes.
- Cut the cooled meat into small cubes or shred it into fibers.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Cut the mushrooms into cubes as well. Slice a few pieces for decoration.
- Place the mushrooms in a dry preheated pan. Wait until the mushrooms release liquid and the water evaporates.
- Then add vegetable oil to the mushrooms, fry the mushrooms for a few minutes. Add the onion to the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fry until done.
- Place the prunes on a paper towel, let them dry.
- Cut the prunes into cubes, and also leave a few thin slices for decoration.
- Cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes.
- Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater.
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites.
- Grate the yolks on a fine grater, and the whites on a coarse one.
- Finely chop the green onion.
- The salad should be assembled on an oval dish. Spread a little mayonnaise on the bottom of the dish, place the fried mushrooms with onions. Pipe a net of mayonnaise over the top.
- For the second layer, lay the prunes. Do not spread mayonnaise on the prunes.
- Evenly layer the chicken breast. Pipe a net of mayonnaise.

- On top of the cucumbers, place the whites and spread evenly over the entire surface.
