Salad with chicken, beans and cucumbers

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with chicken, canned beans and cucumbers? Very fast and simple. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use canned beans, either white or red. If you have ready-made boiled beans, you can use them. You can add the vegetable part of the salad to your liking.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet, dry it and cut into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sprinkle the chicken with spices, stir and leave to marinate for 20 minutes. Instead of frying, you can boil the fillet or bake it in the oven in foil. You can use smoked chicken instead of fresh chicken.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the chicken and fry, stirring, until golden brown. You can fry a whole chicken fillet, but chicken cut into small cubes turns out tastier, more tender and more aromatic - because each piece is soaked in spices on all sides. Transfer the fried chicken to a bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the cucumber and dry it. Cut into small cubes. The skin, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

6. STEP 6

   

   Drain all the liquid from the canned beans and place the beans in a colander. It is advisable to rinse the beans with cold water to get rid of any remaining viscous juice. Dry the washed beans so that the salad does not turn out watery.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the dill, dry and finely chop. You can replace or supplement dill with other herbs, for example, parsley, cilantro or other herbs to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add canned beans, cucumbers and chopped herbs to the chicken salad bowl.

9. STEP 9

   

   Season the salad with mayonnaise, mix and serve. It is advisable to prepare the salad immediately before serving, because storing it in the refrigerator can worsen its taste. Bon appetit!

You can quickly and easily prepare a delicious salad with chicken, beans and cucumbers! And I thank Maria for the recipe. I cut the chicken fillet into small cubes and put it in a bowl. Sprinkled with salt and spices (I used turmeric and smoked paprika). Fry the fillet pieces in a frying pan until done. I also cut the cucumbers into small cubes. I drained the liquid from the beans, chopped the dill. I combined all the ingredients in a salad bowl, seasoned with mayonnaise and stirred. I really liked this version of the salad: filling, appetizing and tasty! I recommend trying it 😊
