How to make Edelweiss salad with chicken? Prepare your food. If the fillet was frozen, defrost it by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Wash the vegetables well and dry. Place the corn in a sieve to drain the liquid.

First, prepare the fillet. How to fry fillet? Season it with salt and pepper, and if desired, you can add some dried herbs. Fry the fillet in olive oil in a well-heated frying pan for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Determine readiness by piercing the meat with a knife — light juice should flow. Otherwise, increase the cooking time. Let the finished fillet cool slightly.
