Lady's whim salad with chicken and prunes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Ladies' whim salad with chicken and prunes? Prepare your food. Boil the chicken fillet. Wash and remove films and excess fat from the breast. Pour about 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan. When it boils, add some salt and add the meat. You can add peppercorns and bay leaves. Cook covered (about 20 minutes after boiling). If the fillet can be easily pierced with a knife, it is ready. Cool without removing from the broth to prevent the meat from drying out.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse dried pitted prunes in cold water. Place in a bowl and pour boiling water over it. Let it stand for about 10 minutes, then drain in a colander and let the liquid drain.

3. STEP 3

   

   If the skin of fresh cucumbers is intact and not bitter, do not cut it off. Wash the vegetables, cut into small pieces or grate into large strips using a vegetable cutter.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate delicious hard cheese on a grater, preferably on a fine grater, so that the layer of cheese on the salad is airy.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the cooled chicken meat into small cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boil the eggs. To do this, fill them with cold water, add salt (about 1 teaspoon), bring to a boil and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Then drain the hot water and add cold water. When cool, peel the boiled eggs and chop into cubes with a knife or using a mesh. You can grate it coarsely.

7. STEP 7

   

   Dry the steamed prunes with paper towels and cut into small pieces.

It looks very beautiful and appetizing. The combination of chicken and prunes is perfect. Try a similar recipe that uses an apple instead of cucumbers.
