Step 1

You can use any chicken fillet - fresh, pre-cooked, boiled, or baked (like mine). You’ll also need hard-boiled eggs. Choose a juicy lettuce variety such as Iceberg or Frisée.

Step 2

I used baked chicken fillet. To bake the fillet: rinse and pat the meat dry. Season well with salt on all sides, and optionally rub with spices (I used paprika). Wrap the fillet in foil and place it in a baking dish. Bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet. Cool the cooked chicken and cut it into cubes.

Step 3

Wash and dry the cucumber, then slice it into rounds. Taste it to make sure it’s not bitter - a bitter cucumber can ruin the salad. If the skin is soft, you don’t need to peel it.

Step 4

Boil the eggs in advance. To make hard-boiled eggs: place them in cold water and bring to a gentle boil over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water starts boiling, then pour in cold water to cool them quickly - this makes peeling easier. Slice the peeled eggs into rings.

Step 5

Wash the lettuce and separate it into leaves. Lay them on paper towels and pat dry thoroughly - excess moisture can make the salad soggy.

Step 6

Take a flat serving plate. Tear the lettuce leaves by hand (not with a knife) - cutting speeds up oxidation and makes them wilt faster.

Step 7

Place the diced chicken fillet on top.

Step 8

Then arrange the cucumber and egg slices. Optionally, you can also add thinly sliced red onion.

Step 9

Dress the salad with mayonnaise right before serving, otherwise the vegetables will release moisture and the greens will wilt. Enjoy your meal!
