- vegetable oil – 3 tablespoons.
Preparation
- For the salad we will need boiled chicken breast. It is best to boil it on the bone, without removing the skin. The breast cooked this way turns out to be juicier. It should be boiled in salted water.
- From the cooked and slightly cooled breast, separate the fillet part.
- There is no need to wait for the chicken meat to cool completely, as we will be performing heat treatment again. Therefore, cut the still warm fillet into medium-sized pieces.
- Place the pieces of chicken in a frying pan, sprinkle with curry, and fry for two to three minutes. Use vegetable oil for the chicken.
- While the chicken, fried with curry, cools down, let's prepare the mushrooms.
- Clean and wash the champignons, then slice them.
- Send the mushroom slices to the frying pan with butter, add salt, and fry until ready. It's better to use butter for the champignons. It's unknown what the secret is, but champignons fried in this type of oil acquire a beautiful golden color. Moreover, with this method of cooking, they gain a more pronounced mushroom flavor.
- After the mushrooms, we need to deal with the onion. It should be thinly sliced into quarters.
- Fry the onion in butter as well.
- This salad can be served warm or cold. Therefore, combine the still warm ingredients together.
- Add the peas and mayonnaise. No need to salt, as the chicken and mushrooms absorbed salt during preparation.
- Mix all the ingredients and serve the dish at the table.
The taste of this salad is impossible to convey in words; you just have to try it. But one thing is certain: everyone who has eaten it has fallen in love with it from the first spoonful. And as mentioned above, there is another plus. The plus is that the salad can be eaten warm or cold. In both options, it is very tasty. Be sure to try making it; you won't regret it!
