Salad with Chicken, Pineapple and Corn
The recipe that opens our selection is one of the simplest. Check the availability of the necessary products for its creation:
- Chicken fillet (breast) - 300-500 grams of raw product.
- A can of canned corn.
- Bank of pineapples.
- Mayonnaise to taste.
- Salt.
How to prepare a breast?
It is necessary to start cooking salad with canned pineapple and chicken breast with chicken pulp. Rinse the fillet and add water. Boil it until tender, slightly salting the water. Time - at least an hour after boiling. If desired, you can add a bay leaf. We take out the finished poultry meat and completely cool it. In no case should you mix warm meat with other components: the salad will quickly go bad.
Make a salad
When boiled chicken breast is in the refrigerator, you can create a juicy chicken salad with pineapple and corn in a recipe in literally minutes.
We open canned food. From the jar of corn grains, remove the liquid. We take pineapples from a can of pineapple. Now chop the pineapple into cubes or straws - as you like.
In a salad bowl we chop chicken flesh. It can also be cut into cubes or straws, disassembling a little into fibers. For chicken, send pineapple and pour corn grains here. Now you need to add salt to your taste. Mayonnaise completes the process of preparing a very simple and delicious salad.
Serve right in a deep salad bowl. Add aesthetics at the time of serving: lay out each serving with a serving ring. Garnish appetizer as you wish.
Smoked Chicken Salad with Pineapple and Corn
Replacing boiled poultry with smoked, we get a completely different taste. List of ingredients:
- Smoked chicken meat - 350-500 grams.
- Canned corn is one can.
- Pineapple - one jar.
- Cheese -150-200 grams.
- Walnuts - 100 grams. If you have a nut-free salad, that's okay.
- Fresh cucumber - 1 piece (optional).
- Greens, salt, mayonnaise - to taste and desire.
Step-by-step instruction
- We start to cook the salad. Ingredients (chicken, pineapple, corn) are sent to a deep bowl. At the same time, chicken meat can be cut into cubes or strips (tear into fibers). Of course, pineapple and corn in a salad are without liquid from a jar. In addition, pineapple must be cut arbitrarily.
- Peeled walnuts must be washed. Dry them first with a paper towel, then lightly calcinate in a dry frying pan or in the oven so that they become more brittle, but not stiff. Now you need to chop the nuts. This can be done with an ordinary knife: chop them finely on a kitchen board. You can use the kitchen pestle.
- Cheese grated on a grater of any fraction.
- Wash and trim the cucumber tips. If you have a young specimen with delicate skin, we will send it to the salad with the peel. But when a cucumber with a thicker peel comes across, we clean it off completely. It is possible to grind a vegetable arbitrarily: with straws, cubes or even grate. You can cut it even with quarters, but remember that the thickness of the rings should be no more than two to three millimeters.
You can make an appetizer for serving in any way. For example, mix all the ingredients in a deep salad bowl, salt and, seasoning with mayonnaise, decorate with suitable greens. Or lay the appetizer in layers in random order. It is necessary to give time for impregnation - at least ten to twenty minutes.
With rice
The chicken salad recipe with pineapple and corn and rice is sure to appeal to you. Chicken fillet for such an appetizer can be taken both boiled and smoked. Having tried both options, you will be able to find the best for yourself.
In the meantime, we list the components in order to prepare such an appetizer:
- Half a glass of finished rice. He, like meat, must be completely cooled. It is very convenient for cooking to use portioned bags with dry rice grain. From one bag, you get a double norm of a delicious salad.
- Chicken breast - 300-400 grams. We take smoked or boiled - at will.
- Pineapple - 1 can. Drain the liquid from the can.
- Corn - 1 can. We also remove excess fluid from it.
- Garlic - 1-2 cloves. He will add zest to our snack.
- Salt to taste.
- Mayonnaise to taste.
- If desired, you can add fresh dill or parsley.
How to cook?
Peel and squeeze the garlic through a press. As in previous recipes, we cut the meat arbitrarily. If the chicken meat is boiled in your case, then mix the garlic and fillet. In the case when smoked chicken breast is used, with garlic we will grease the dishes in which we will serve the salad.
If you decide to lay the appetizer in layers, then prepare the meat layer first. Lubricate with mayonnaise. The second layer is finely chopped pineapple. The third layer will be boiled, crumbly rice. Add salt and pepper if necessary. Mayonnaise again.
On the surface of the rice layer, processed with mayonnaise sauce, spread the corn. We decorate the finished dish, as the fantasy tells. A salad prepared in mixed media (not layers) also has a right to exist. It is very convenient to make it for a home lunch or dinner. At the same time, we save minutes and enjoy delicious aromatic salad for lunch (dinner).
