Assorted lettuce is an almost win-win option for a festive table, a romantic evening or in order to feed a family a tasty and satisfying dinner. Especially successful are the options when the composition of the ingredients includes chicken meat. It is not as heavy as, for example, pork, belongs to the category of diet and goes well with various kinds of vegetables.
Spring coleslaw with chicken
There are salads that are tedious to cook. They include a large number of ingredients that need to be cut, grated, etc. We will also talk about such dishes (where can we go without them !?). But the first chicken breast salad that we suggest you make is extremely simple. His taste does not suffer from this, believe me! It is especially good in the spring, when you really want fresh vitamins. It is also very useful because it is made from fresh white cabbage. Boil 250-300 grams of meat in salted water until tender, cool, cut into cubes. Cut the desired piece from the cabbage, chop with a thin straw, gently take it to let the juice flow. Add finely chopped onion feathers (150-200 g) and dill greens to the chicken breast salad. If there is no green onion, chop the usual thinly, in half rings. Mix all the ingredients, pepper, salt. Season with mayonnaise and serve. The dish is very well combined with young boiled potatoes or pilaf, rice porridge.
Chicken salad with crackers and mushrooms
An original and very tasty salad is obtained from chicken breasts, if you make it with mushrooms, prunes and crackers. Breasts can only be boiled, but can be fried until tender in oil with onions. Separately fry mushrooms (honey mushrooms or whatever). Dry dried prunes in boiling water for softness. The meat is divided into small fibers. Prune and mushrooms cut into slices. Mix all components, add crushed garlic, salt. Add mayonnaise salad from chicken breasts, pour a bag of crackers made of white bread and serve immediately. It would be nice to add the sautéed lettuce leaves, as well as a slice of grated cheese.
Chicken Salad with Tomato
For this dish, you can pre-marinate the meat or buy smoked. Salad and fried ingredients will also work well. A nice addition will be tomatoes added to the salad. Chicken breast is cut into thin slices. 4-5 medium potatoes are boiled in their uniforms, peeled and cut into small slices. Diced 2 cucumbers, fresh or salted, 2 steep eggs. Thin straws - a large sweet and sour apple. Lettuce leaves (about 100 g) should be torn to pieces. The components are stacked in a bowl or pan, added, seasoned with mayonnaise. For the best taste and pungency, mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with a teaspoon of mustard, add a little icing sugar, pour the dressing into the finished dish. Boiled chicken breast is especially good with it. Put the salad in a suitable vase, decorate with sliced slices of eggs and fresh tomatoes. Serve immediately.
Chicken Salad with Herbs
And finally, such a salad. Boil, peel and dice 4 potatoes, 3 carrots, 100 g asparagus, the same amount of fried cauliflower with whole inflorescences (try not to break them during preparation). Prepare half a jar of canned green peas. Slices 2-3 strong tomatoes into slices. Take 100 g of fresh lettuce leaves. Now we “collect” the dish: put the salad in the middle on a plate. On it, a hill - chicken cut into thin slices. Insert a sprig of parsley or dill. Around the middle, like flower petals, arrange the rest of the vegetables. Before serving, salt and pour a special dressing, mixing apple cider vinegar with vegetable oil and ground pepper.
Eat on health!
