Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. You can cook the chicken specifically for the salad or use leftovers from a previous meal. I have some grilled chicken left. You can also marinate the mushrooms yourself, but I use store-bought ones. Choose high-quality canned corn.
Step 2
How to roast chicken: Season chicken fillet (breast or thigh) with salt and spices. Wrap it in foil and bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-45 minutes, depending on the size. How to boil chicken: Boil water in a saucepan, add salt and peppercorns. Place the fillet in boiling water and cook for 30-40 minutes. Let it cool in the broth for extra juiciness. Cut the chicken into small pieces.
Step 3
How to hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in cold water and bring to a boil over low heat. Cook for 9 minutes after boiling, then transfer them to cold water to cool. The rapid temperature change makes peeling easier. Cut the eggs into small cubes.
Step 4
Wash fresh cucumbers, cut off the ends, and dice them to match the size of other ingredients. Uniformly chopped salads look more aesthetically pleasing. Taste the cucumbers before cutting to ensure they are not bitter.
Step 5
Drain the pickled mushrooms and cut them into small pieces, similar in size to the other ingredients.
Step 6
Place all chopped ingredients in a salad bowl. Add the drained corn. Season with salt, considering the mushrooms are already salty and the salad will be dressed with mayonnaise.
Step 7
Dress the salad with mayonnaise, mix well, and serve. Enjoy your meal!
