Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with chicken, carrots and eggs? Prepare the necessary products. You can take any parts of the chicken: thighs, drumsticks, breast. I have chicken fillet. The pickled cucumber can be replaced with a salted one or, alternatively, take a fresh one. You can use mayonnaise instead of sour cream.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the chicken fillet and place it in boiling salted water. Bring the chicken to a boil, remove any foam that has formed with a spoon. Cook the chicken over moderate heat for about 20 minutes until cooked through.

Step 3

Step 3
Remove the chicken from the broth and cool. Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips or simply separate it into small fibers with your hands.

Step 4

Step 4
Boil the eggs hard. How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Peel the cooled eggs and cut into thin strips. You can grate the eggs on a coarse or medium grater.

The salad can be placed in a cooking ring or in a suitable sized bowl or salad bowl. In the latter version, the salad will have a dome shape. Line a bowl with cling film. Place grated carrots on the bottom. Press and smooth the carrot layer with a spoon and brush with sour cream. If desired, this layer can be slightly salted.
