Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Bride salad with smoked chicken and melted cheese? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Smoked chicken meat is suitable from any part of the carcass. I used chicken thighs. It is better to boil eggs and potatoes in advance so that you don’t have to wait for them to cool down. Take thick sour cream, with a high percentage of fat content, so that it does not spread. Place the cheese in the freezer about half an hour before cooking to make it easier to work with.

Step 2

Step 2
Pickle the onion. To do this, mix water at room temperature with vinegar and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onion, rinse and chop very thinly. To avoid irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. Place the chopped onion in a bowl with the marinade, stir and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then squeeze and place in a sieve to drain excess liquid.

Step 4

Step 4
Since the salad is layered, it can be laid out in layers in a large salad bowl or in portions. The specified quantity of products yields two servings. I laid out the salad using a cooking ring, but you can carefully lay out the ingredients in a heap. Grease the bottom with a thin layer of sour cream. This is necessary in order to hold the bottom layer together so that it does not fall apart when it is eaten.

Step 5

Step 5
Finely chop the chicken with a knife and place on top of the sour cream. Level each layer, but do not compact it, so that the salad looks neat and airy.

Next, brush the chicken a little with sour cream and add a layer of onion.

Step 7

Step 7
Boil the potatoes in their skins. To do this, pour cold water over the washed tubers and cook for 20-25 minutes after boiling over medium heat. Cool completely, grate and place on top of the onion. Salt the potatoes and brush with a little sour cream.

Step 8

Step 8
Wash the eggs with soap and boil them hard. To do this, pour cold water over them and cook for 18 minutes after boiling over medium heat. To clean boiled eggs well, fill them with cold water. Cool completely, peel and separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the yolks onto a coarse grater, add the next layer, salt and brush with sour cream.

Step 9

Grate the melted cheese and place in the next layer, brush with sour cream.
