Ingredients
Show ingredients
- chicken fillet - 1 pc;
- champignons - 300 g;
- onion - 1 pc;
- Korean-style carrots - 100 g;
- boiled eggs - 3 pcs;
- mayonnaise - 3-4 tbsp;
- herbs - to taste;
- sugar - 1 tbsp;
- 9% vinegar - 1 tbsp;
- salt - 1 tsp;
- spices for chicken - 1 pinch;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Preparation
- Prepare all necessary ingredients for the Men's Tears Salad with Chicken. Boil the eggs hard-boiled in advance.
- Place the chicken breast on foil folded in two layers, rub it with salt and spices for chicken (or any other spices you like), tightly wrap the fillet in foil and send it to the oven preheated to 190 degrees for 30 minutes. This fillet will turn out very tasty and aromatic, giving the salad special original notes. But if you prefer, you can simply boil the fillet in salted water.
- Finely chop the onion. Place the cubes in a small bowl, add 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of 9% table vinegar. Pour boiling water over everything and leave it until completely cool. Then drain the liquid.
- Clean the champignons and slice them thinly.
- Place the champignons in a frying pan and cook over medium heat until the released liquid evaporates. Then pour in about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil, add a little salt, and cook the mushrooms until golden brown.
- Grate the hard-boiled eggs on a coarse grater.
- In the meantime, the chicken fillet is ready, let it cool a bit and cut it into strips or cubes.
- To form the salad, I suggest using a serving ring with a diameter of about 18-20 cm. If you don't have a ring of that size, you can easily make one from foil, folding it in several layers. So, for the first layer, place pieces of chicken.
- The second layer - pickled onions.
- Then cover with a grid of mayonnaise. It’s convenient to do this if you transfer the mayonnaise into a piping bag.
- The next layer is mushrooms, which are also covered with a grid of mayonnaise.
- Place the Korean-style carrots; if they're very long, you can cut them into shorter strips. Top the carrots with mayonnaise.
- And the last layer will be the grated eggs. Spread them in an even layer and gently pat down the salad.
- Now, just decorate the Men's Tears Salad. Sprinkle finely chopped herbs around the edge of the salad.
- Carefully remove the improvised serving ring. The Men's Tears Salad with Chicken is ready. Optionally, you can let it sit for a bit. It turned out very, very tasty. Bon appétit!
