Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Tender salad with chicken and cheese? Prepare your food. Boil chicken breast, eggs and carrots in advance and cool. It is better to take cheese with a neutral taste, semi-soft or hard, natural, without vegetable additives. You can make your own mayonnaise for salad. Below the steps you will find a link to a catalog of homemade mayonnaise recipes.

Step 2

Step 2
To soak the layers, make a sauce: pass peeled garlic cloves through a press and mix with mayonnaise, add salt, and if desired, you can add ground black pepper. Keep in mind that mayonnaise already contains salt, do not oversalt it.

Step 3

Step 3
Boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken fillet? Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and place the meat in it. Add salt. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes at a low simmer over low heat. Then remove the meat from the broth and cool. Cut the chilled chicken fillet into small pieces. Place half of the chopped chicken fillet in your chosen salad bowl. Spread the chicken layer with a small amount of mayonnaise and garlic sauce.

Step 4

Step 4
Remove the shell from chilled chicken eggs. Divide one or two eggs into yolks and whites, set the yolks aside to garnish the salad. Grate the eggs on a coarse grater. Place half of the grated eggs in the next layer after the chicken. Coat this layer with sauce.

Step 5

Step 5
How to boil carrots? Wash the root vegetables well, place in a saucepan and cover with clean cold water. Cook the carrots for 20-30 minutes after boiling over low heat, depending on the size. Peel the boiled cooled carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Place half of the grated carrots on top of the egg layer. Coat this layer with sauce.

Step 6

Step 6
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Place the grated cheese in an even layer on top of the carrot layer. Spread a little sauce over this layer.

Step 7

Step 7
Repeat all the layers again — chicken, eggs, carrots, cheese, coating each layer with a small amount of sauce. Coat the last layer generously with sauce and decorate with finely grated egg yolks. In addition to yolks, the salad can be decorated with fresh herbs.

Step 8

Step 8
Be sure to cool the salad before serving: the layers will be saturated with the sauce, the salad will become juicier and the carrots will not have a pronounced vegetable taste. Then serve the salad to the table. Bon appetit!
