Salad with chicken breast and canned beans

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with chicken breast and beans? First of all, prepare all the products that are listed. Instead of chicken breast, you can use turkey meat; it will harmonize just as well with all the other ingredients. Which lettuce leaves are best to take? Iceberg, lettuce, a mix of fresh leaves or romaine are suitable. Rinse the breasts, dry them and cut into thin strips or cubes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Drain the beans from the jar in a colander, rinse under running water, and shake. Leave in a colander to drain off all excess liquid.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the vegetables. Peel the garlic and onion. For the salad, use red or white lettuce if possible; you can use shallots. These onion varieties have a milder taste and are well suited for vegetable salads. Rinse cucumber, tomatoes, herbs, lemon and everything else in clean water and dry with napkins.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the chicken in a frying pan, lightly salt and sprinkle with ground pepper. Fry over medium heat, stirring, until done. It took me about 10 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Tear the lettuce leaves into arbitrary pieces with your hands or cut them with a knife. Chop the remaining vegetables: onions into half rings or a little smaller, cucumbers into small cubes, and cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place lettuce leaves and canned beans in a deep salad bowl.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the cooled chicken breast next.

8. STEP 8

   

   Next comes the turn of tomatoes and cucumbers.

9. STEP 9

   

   Prepare a flavorful salad dressing. In a deep small cup, mix refined vegetable or olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, salt to taste, pressed garlic and ground peppers. If your tomatoes are not in season, you can add a pinch of sugar to the dressing to balance the taste. Mix everything thoroughly.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour dressing over salad.

11. STEP 11

    

    Sprinkle some young herbs on top, not coarsely chopped. Dill, parsley, green onions, basil and others work well.

12. STEP 12

    

    Stir the salad 5-10 minutes before serving. During this time, it will be maximally saturated with aromatic dressing and at the same time, the cucumbers and tomatoes will not have time to give much juice and the remaining components will not soften.

The salad turned out very tasty, fresh, juicy! I baked the chicken breast in advance in the oven, I didn’t add onions at all, I used dill instead of lettuce. I really love this aromatic dressing: vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, aromatic spices. It's always a win-win. Chicken breast and beans make the salad hearty. It can be served as a separate complete dish. Many thanks to the author for such a delicious recipe! Cook with pleasure!

A very nutritious and tasty salad with chicken and canned beans, also suitable as an independent dish, for example for dinner. It is advisable to choose softer beans. Alternatively, you can cook it with smoked chicken breast instead of boiled, this will add piquancy. However, boiled is certainly healthier). In general, when you need to feed heartily and at the same time pamper your loved ones, this salad is perfect.
