Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Olivier with chicken and cucumber? Prepare your food. Transfer the chicken fillet to the pan. Fill it with water, bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes, adding a little salt. Then remove the finished meat from the broth and cut it into several pieces so that it cools faster.

At the same time, boil the eggs, potatoes and carrots. Rinse the potatoes and carrots well to remove dirt. No need to clean. Just add water and boil until soft, 20-30 minutes after boiling. Check readiness with a knife. Boil the eggs in boiling water for 5-7 minutes. Then cool everything.
