The process of making salad "Golden Cockerel"
You can lay out a bowl for serving with lettuce or Peking cabbage. So it will be more beautiful! Then we proceed to implement our ideas.
So, for starters, we will clean all the products that need it. Carefully remove the peel from the onion and cut it into half rings. Make them thin and miniature.
Then wash the mushrooms and cut them into slices as well. The appearance of your salad "Golden Cockerel" depends on slicing, so pay attention to this.
We wash the chicken fillet well and send it to cook whole. No need to cut it, just put the meat in pre-salted water and cook until it is completely cooked. The cooking period will take about half an hour.
When the onions and mushrooms are ready, put them together in a pan and sauté. You can also season with a little salt. Do not forget to constantly stir our mixture.
When the chicken is ready, cool it and begin to cut into small strips. You can just tear it with your hands into fibers to make it faster and more convenient. After that we combine it with the already prepared roasting from onions and mushrooms. Mix.
Take the corn and drain all the liquid from it, and then add to the mixture with mushrooms and meat. Now there are the final steps in our cooking. We take walnuts and begin to crush them until a homogeneous mass is obtained. We pour it to an almost ready salad. Add mayonnaise or other dressing to taste in the dish, pepper everything. Salt is not worth it, because some ingredients are already salted.
Further, the matter remained for small! You need to cook a Golden Cockerel salad with chicken according to the recipe and arrange it in the form of a bird’s body. Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the dish. Also, to make beak, tail and wings, you can use bell pepper. Cut out all the details from it and arrange in the right places.
Then it is already possible to make eyes from black olives (if it seems too big, replace with peppercorns). Garnish the dish with corn and herbs on top. That's all! Our salad is ready!
