Fried chicken salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fried chicken salad? Prepare the ingredients you will need for the recipe. To make the finished dish look more appetizing and bright, use bell peppers of different colors if possible. First of all, boil the eggs hard and cool.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the chicken breast and dry with paper towels. Cut each piece of meat lengthwise into two slices. Sprinkle with your favorite spices and salt to taste on both sides. I used a pinch of smoked paprika, ground pepper, garlic powder and dried basil. Rub the spices over the surface of the fillet and leave to marinate for 5-10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Fry the chicken on both sides over high heat until cooked through and until a delicious golden crust appears. This will take very little time (5-10 minutes). Do not overcook the fillet in the pan, otherwise it will become dry.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the fried pieces in a separate plate and cool.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse vegetables and lettuce leaves. Cut the skin off the cucumbers if necessary. Peel the eggs, cut the bell peppers into two parts and remove the seeds and core.

6. STEP 6

   

   Dry each lettuce leaf thoroughly. Tear the sheets randomly into medium-sized pieces. Cut the cooled chicken into thin slices with a sharp knife or chop it with your hands, whichever is more convenient for you. Place the salad and fillet in a deep, suitable-sized container.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the cucumbers into thin circles or semicircles, and chop the bell pepper into large strips or cubes. Place in a salad bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the eggs into small slices and add to all the ingredients in the bowl.

9. STEP 9

   

   For a richer taste, you can add onions to the list of ingredients. Thinly sliced ​​red salad onions 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. Or you can make homemade mayonnaise. You can view a catalog of homemade mayonnaise recipes by following the link at the end of the recipe.

    Before serving, stir the salad and garnish with a few sprigs of parsley or dill.

For dinner I made a salad with fried chicken. I cut the chicken fillet, rubbed it with salt and my favorite spices, left it to marinate for 15 minutes, and quickly fried it (it turned out juicy and aromatic). I decided to replace part of the salad with Chinese cabbage (I used only the tender part of the cabbage leaves, without the thick white veins). I chopped and mixed all the ingredients, dressed the salad with mayonnaise - an excellent option for a light but satisfying dinner is ready! Chicken fillet marinated in spices and fried goes well with vegetables and significantly enriches the taste of the salad. It turned out very juicy and tasty! Thanks for the recipe, Zhemchuzhina! I would love to make this recipe, everyone loved it!

Yummy! A hearty fried chicken salad for the summer! But my family and I really like the winter version of chicken and bean salad. The chicken can be boiled or smoked, I think fried is also suitable.

The first thing that caught my attention with the fried chicken salad was the unique idea of ​​marinating and frying the chicken. It's so delicious! Not just with boiled tasteless chicken, but with marinated fried chicken, great, great salad!
