Preparation
Step 1
Use chilled chicken fillet for juicier meat. If frozen, thaw first. Boil potatoes and eggs in advance and cool completely. Wash and dry lettuce, cucumbers, and herbs.
Step 2
Rub the fillet with salt and paprika. You can also use other spices to taste.
Step 3
Wrap the fillet in foil, sealing edges tightly to keep the juice inside. Place the packet in a baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes at 180 °C / 355 °F. Remove from oven and cool completely. This method makes the fillet juicy and tender, but you can also use fried or boiled chicken.
Step 4
Dice cucumbers into medium cubes.
Step 5
To boil potatoes in their skins: wash thoroughly, place in a pot with cold water, and bring to a simmer. After boiling, cook for 20-25 minutes depending on size and variety. Check doneness with a sharp knife - it should pierce easily. Cool, peel, and dice into cubes similar to cucumbers.
Step 6
To make hard-boiled eggs: place eggs in cold water and bring to a simmer. Boil for 9 minutes after boiling starts. Drain, cover with cold water, and cool. This makes peeling easier. Dice cooled eggs.
Step 7
Finely chop dill. You may also use green onion or parsley instead.
Step 8
Dice the fully cooled chicken fillet into cubes. The salad looks neat if all ingredients are cut into even pieces.
Step 9
Place all ingredients in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that mayonnaise already contains salt. Add mayonnaise and mix.
Step 10
Serve in a salad bowl or shape with a cooking ring. Place lettuce leaves on a flat plate, put the ring on top, fill with salad, press down, and gently remove the ring. Garnish with herbs. Enjoy!
