Preparation
Step 1
Boil the eggs in advance. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 7-8 minutes. Drain the hot water and cool the eggs in cold water.
Step 2
Peel and rinse the onion and carrot under running water. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrot coarsely. Heat a little vegetable oil in a hot pan and sauté the chopped carrot and onion for 3-5 minutes until soft. Transfer to a separate plate and let cool.
Step 3
Wash and dry the mushrooms thoroughly, then finely chop them. Fry the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until reduced in size and slightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 4
Boil the chicken fillet in boiling water for about 30 minutes, then cool. Cut the cooled chicken into small cubes. Peel the eggs.
Step 5
The salad can be mixed in a bowl or layered carefully. I will layer it using a serving ring. Place the ring on a plate and put the chopped chicken as the first layer, spreading a little mayonnaise on this and every following layer.
Step 6
Add a layer of sautéed carrots and onions on the chicken. Press each layer slightly to keep the salad firm after removing the ring.
Step 7
Grate the boiled eggs coarsely and add as the next layer.
Step 8
Then add a layer of sautéed mushrooms.
Step 9
Finish with a layer of grated cheese. Remove the serving ring. Chill the salad slightly and garnish to taste. Enjoy!
