Classic salad "Tender" with chicken

The presence of the word “classic” in the name of the dish means the fact that the recipe that has come down to us from past centuries has become a kind of standard that can be followed, allowing minor changes and adjustments.

To prepare in advance, prepare:

Chicken Breasts - 600 g;
  garlic - 3 cloves;
  sweet carrots - 2 pcs.;
  eggs - 7 pcs.;
  cheese - ¼ kg;
  salt, pepper mix and mayonnaise to taste.

Algorithm of actions:

1. Well washed white poultry, boil until soft, but elastic. Cut the cooled breasts into small pieces or simply disassemble the fibers with your hands.
  2. We release the garlic from the husk, pass through a press and combine with the amount of mayonnaise selected to taste. If desired, season the sauce with pepper and salt. The resulting mixture will become an impregnation for a gentle salad.
  3. Boil hard-boiled eggs (chicken or quail). Cool them in a bowl of water, remove the shell. We leave three yolks in their entirety, finely rubbing the rest.
  4. Cook potatoes and carrots to a mild state. We prepare tubers in a uniform. We have in mind that in the peel of last year root crops there is an accumulation of solanine, therefore, since February, the crude product is a health hazard.

Grind the finished vegetables on a grater. This method of cutting increases the free space between products. This is the first secret in creating the "airiness" of the dish!

5. In the old days, pancakes from eggs were added to such an appetizer. To do this, beat them thoroughly, fry, cut into small strips and place in a salad. Very tender and delicious!
  6. Now we divide the prepared ingredients into two parts. We put the molding ring in the middle of the plate, lay the pieces of chicken on the bottom, process it with dressing of mayonnaise and garlic.
7. Place ½ egg composition, coat it with the same impregnation, then place a layer of carrots. Flavor the products with mayonnaise, sprinkle with cheese chips, gently “draw” the net from the garlic composition.
  8. We continue to make the snack in the same sequence. We complete the culinary layout with grated yolks set aside for this purpose. Carefully remove the ring and send the snack for several hours in the refrigerator to form the final taste of the food.
  The classic recipe for cooking is a kind of matrix, a kind of template, thanks to which we create our own culinary masterpieces.
