Preparation
Step 1
How do you make a layered salad with eggs, cheese, and chicken? Prepare the ingredients. Boil the chicken fillet in advance and let it cool - either breast or thigh works. Also boil the eggs. Use 9% white vinegar. Choose good-quality cheese without vegetable fats. Hard or semi-hard cheese with a bold flavor is best, since the other ingredients are fairly mild.
Step 2
First, pickle the onion. Peel it and dice finely. Put the onion in a small bowl and pour boiling water over it for 2 minutes - this removes bitterness. Then drain the water.
Step 3
Pour vinegar over the onion and add 3 tbsp cold water. Let the onion marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 4
How do you boil chicken fillet? Bring water to a boil in a pot and add the meat. Add salt and peppercorns. Simmer the chicken for about 30 minutes over low heat. Then cool the fillet and cut into small cubes. You can also use baked or pan-fried chicken.
Step 5
You can serve this salad in a salad bowl or on a plate using a ring mold. I used a ring. Place the ring on a flat plate. Add the diced chicken as the first layer. Lightly press it down and spread with mayonnaise. Drain the vinegar and water from the onion. Spread the pickled onion over the chicken layer.
Step 6
Peel the boiled eggs and grate on a coarse grater.
Step 7
Add the grated eggs as the next layer, press lightly, and spread with mayonnaise.
Step 8
Grate the cheese on a medium grater - this makes the salad more tender and prettier.
Step 9
Add the grated cheese as the final layer. No need to spread mayonnaise on top. Refrigerate the salad for 1 hour to soak through, then remove the ring.
Step 10
If you like, decorate the top and serve. Enjoy your meal!
