Step 2
Chicken fillet, I have chicken breast, boil in salted water until tender over medium heat. Remove the meat from the broth and place in a plastic bag, leave until cool. This will allow the boiled fillet to remain tender and not dry out. If you boil the chicken fillet in advance, for example the night before, preparing the salad will take you no more than 15 minutes.
