Preparation
Step 1
You can use any tomatoes - plum or cherry. Feel free to adjust or replace the vegetables to your taste.
Step 2
Wash and pat dry the chicken fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Optionally, add other spices to taste.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat and fry the fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. The exact cooking time depends on the fillet’s size and heat level.
Step 4
Let the cooked fillet cool and slice it thinly. Instead of frying, you can boil or bake it in foil. Smoked chicken can also be used.
Step 5
Boil broccoli in salted water for about 10 minutes (212°F / 100°C) until tender. The exact time depends on the floret size. You can use fresh or frozen broccoli - no need to defrost frozen ones.
Step 6
Drain the broccoli in a colander and let it cool. If florets are large, cut them smaller.
Step 7
Wash, dry, and slice tomatoes into wedges. Choose firm and juicy tomatoes - too soft ones may lose shape and affect appearance.
Step 8
Wash and dry lettuce leaves thoroughly. You can also use a pre-mixed salad blend.
Step 9
In a bowl, combine chicken, tomatoes, broccoli, and pressed garlic. Season with salt and pepper and mix gently to avoid crushing the tomatoes.
Step 10
Line a serving plate with lettuce leaves. Place chicken, tomatoes, and broccoli on top.
Step 11
Drizzle the salad with mayonnaise. You can use a piping bag for a thin, decorative drizzle or mix everything with mayonnaise earlier (step 9). Serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
