Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with smoked chicken and croutons? . The salad prepares quite quickly. Take ready-made smoked boneless chicken for meat, the main thing is that this product is fresh and tasty. All that remains is to cut the meat into small cubes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil chicken eggs hard in salted water. Then fill them with cold water, they will be easier to clean and will cool faster. Peel and finely chop with a knife.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions and carrots. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. There is no need to pour in a lot of vegetable oil, because we will season the salad with mayonnaise, and the oil can ruin the taste of the salad. And fry the onions and carrots until the onions are transparent and the carrots are soft, the main thing is not to overcook so that the vegetables do not burn, otherwise they will give the salad an unpleasant bitterness and spoil the taste. Cool the roasted vegetables.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil the potatoes in their skins, but it is better to bake them in the oven with olive oil, they will be more aromatic, tastier and healthier. Cool the potatoes, peel and cut into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash fresh cucumbers and chop finely. In winter, fresh cucumbers can be replaced with pickled ones, it won’t be worse, they will give the salad a piquant flavor.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash a few green onions well and chop them finely, maybe diagonally, it will turn out more beautiful.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix all prepared ingredients in a large salad bowl. Add salt to taste and season with mayonnaise. It is better to serve this salad in small portioned salad bowls, sprinkling croutons on top and garnishing with a sprig of parsley, or place a bowl of croutons next to it so that each guest can take as many croutons and add them to the salad themselves as they see fit. Bon appetit!

I liked the recipe for a salad with smoked chicken and croutons. I made the crackers by drying diced pieces of loaf in the oven; homemade crackers are always tastier than store-bought ones. I didn't have smoked chicken, so I replaced it with boiled chicken breast. I took a pickled cucumber. I boiled potatoes and eggs for the salad. Fried carrots and onions. I didn’t add green onions. Next, all that was left was to chop the vegetables, meat and eggs, and then combine everything in a salad bowl. I added mayonnaise and salt just before serving. I really liked the salad! Crackers   go well with other ingredients. They turned out crumbly with a pleasant bready taste. Pickled cucumber added some piquancy. The fried carrots and onions turned out very appetizing, tender, with a sweetish aftertaste. I'll try adding them fried and to other salads. Thank you very much for the recipe!

I decided to make a salad with smoked chicken and croutons for my mother-in-law’s birthday. I really liked the set of products and the “roasting” with smoked chicken. The most valuable thing is that the birthday girl gave the highest score. And that says it all!
