Ingredients
- chicken fillet - 1 pc;
- champignons - 300 g;
- onion - 1 pc;
- Korean-style carrots - 100 g;
- boiled eggs - 3 pcs;
- mayonnaise - 3-4 tablespoons;
- greens - to taste;
- sugar - 1 tablespoon;
- vinegar 9% - 1 tablespoon;
- salt - 1 teaspoon;
- spices for chicken - 1 pinch;
- vegetable oil for frying.
Preparation
1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making the Men's Tears salad with chicken. Boil the eggs hard beforehand.
2. Put the chicken breast to foil, folded in two layers, grate with salt and spices for chicken (or any other spices that you like), tightly wrap the fillet into the foil and send it to the oven, heated to 190 degrees, for 30 minutes. This fillet will turn out to be very tasty and fragrant, will give a salad of special original notes. But if desired, you can just boil fillet in salted water.
3. Finely chop the onion. Place the cubes in a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of 9% table vinegar. Pour boiling water over everything and let it cool completely. Then drain the liquid.
4. Clean the champignons and slice them thinly.
5. Place the champignons in a frying pan and cook over medium heat to evaporate the released liquid. Then pour in about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, add a little salt, and cook the mushrooms until golden.
6. Grate the hard-boiled eggs on a coarse grater.
7. Meanwhile, the chicken fillet is ready, let it cool a bit and cut it into strips or cubes.
8. 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 by folding it in several layers. So, the first layer is pieces of chicken.
9. The second layer is pickled onions.
10. Then cover with a mesh of mayonnaise. It's convenient to do this if you transfer the mayonnaise to a pastry bag.
11. The next layer is mushrooms, which should also be covered with a mesh of mayonnaise.
12. Place the Korean-style carrots, and if they are very long, you can cut them into smaller strips. Spread mayonnaise on top of the carrots.
And the last layer will be grated eggs. Spread them evenly and lightly tamp the salad.
All that's left is to 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. If desired, you can let it sit for a bit. It turned out very, very tasty. Enjoy your meal!
