New Year's Olivier in a new format

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   First, let's prepare all the necessary ingredients in order to prepare this appetizer as quickly as possible. The key to quick preparation is properly allocated time! Therefore, let's immediately put everything you need on the table and get started.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, we send a couple of eggs to cook until they are fully cooked; after cooking, fill them with cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next we get to work on the potatoes, we also send them to cook on the stove, but the main thing is not to overcook the potatoes, otherwise you will not have a cube, but a potato porridge.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the eggs and potatoes are boiling, we will take care of the chicken, wash the breasts, pat dry with a paper towel, remove all excess films, cut out the veins and cartilage and cut the fillets in half.

5. STEP 5

   

   For frying, I used maggi bags, or rather parchments, an excellent choice for such dishes, as you don’t need to look for any more spices and seasonings, all the necessary ingredients are already in the parchment, all that remains is to put the chicken inside, press it well and fry over medium heat , and fresh garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, paprika and parsley will be absorbed into our chicken and you can enjoy this taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the bags in a frying pan over medium heat and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillet.

7. STEP 7

   

   In the meantime, the chicken is fried, let's move on to the cucumbers, oh, at such moments the vinaigrette immediately comes to mind and life becomes much simpler, BUT, if you still don’t have a vinaigrette, then, hand in hand :) Cut the cucumbers into small cubes and put them in a large salad bowl in which and will knead our Olivier.

8. STEP 8

   

   Immediately after this, we take out the already boiled potatoes, peel them and start shredding, we also need to cut them into small cubes, be careful, some varieties of potatoes are too fragile, transfer them very carefully so as not to damage them. We also put the potatoes in the salad bowl.

9. STEP 9

   

   Now let’s get to the chicken, even if you have a vinaigrette, it definitely won’t help you :) So we cut it by hand, the same small cube, nothing has changed. And we add it to the salad base.

10. STEP 10

    

    Next, peel the eggs, grate them on a fine grater, and add them to the salad bowl.

11. STEP 11

    

    Don’t forget about the peas, drain the water from them and add the whole jar to the salad. And season it with mayonnaise to taste.

12. STEP 12

    

    Next, we take out your tartlets and put our ready-made Olivier in them.

13. STEP 13

    

    You can decorate in different ways, as if in your refrigerator there is any greenery that will fit perfectly on the tops of tartlets. For the New Year, I think everyone will have a jar of caviar to decorate with caviar.

14. STEP 14

    

    But in this situation, we used pomegranate seeds, a more budget option and it looks no worse, the dark ruby ​​color of the grains gives the salad fresh, new colors!
