Salad chicken carrots eggs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with chicken, carrots and eggs? Prepare the necessary products. You can take any parts of the chicken: thighs, drumsticks, breast. I have chicken fillet. The pickled cucumber can be replaced with a salted one or, alternatively, take a fresh one. You can use mayonnaise instead of sour cream.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet and place it in boiling salted water. Bring the chicken to a boil, remove any foam that has formed with a spoon. Cook the chicken over moderate heat for about 20 minutes until cooked through.

3. STEP 3

   

   Remove the chicken from the broth and cool. Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips or simply separate it into small fibers with your hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil the eggs hard. How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Peel the cooled eggs and cut into thin strips. You can grate the eggs on a coarse or medium grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the pickled cucumbers from the brine and dry. Cut the cucumbers into thin strips.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash and dry the pre-peeled carrots. Grate the carrots on a medium grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   The salad can be placed in a cooking ring or in a suitable sized bowl or salad bowl. In the latter version, the salad will have a dome shape. Line a bowl with cling film. Place grated carrots on the bottom. Press and smooth the carrot layer with a spoon and brush with sour cream. If desired, this layer can be slightly salted.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then add the chopped eggs. Also press the layer and brush with sour cream.

9. STEP 9

   

   The next layer is pickled cucumbers. Level and lightly compact, brush with sour cream.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cover the layer of cucumbers with shredded chicken fillet. Lightly compact and brush with sour cream. Cover the top of the salad with cling film and put it in the refrigerator to soak for 30-40 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Before serving, turn the salad onto a plate of suitable diameter and remove the cling film. If you place the salad in a cooking ring, the order of layers will be in reverse order.

12. STEP 12

    

    Grate the hard cheese on a medium grater.

13. STEP 13

    

    Lightly brush the salad with sour cream on top and sprinkle evenly with grated cheese.

14. STEP 14

    

    Top the salad if desired. I have cranberries and dill. Bon appetit!

I prepared a chicken carrot eggs salad. I boiled the chicken fillet and eggs, peeled and finely grated the carrots, and cut the pickled cucumbers into small strips. On the author’s advice, I laid out the salad in layers in a salad bowl covered with cling film. Sour cream had to be replaced with mayonnaise. To decorate the salad I used stuffed olives. The salad turned out delicious! Very juicy due to pickled cucumbers and raw carrots, filling. Thanks for the recipe, Julia!
