Chicken salad is light and tasty. Chicken salads: simple and delicious recipes with photos

Today they make salads with everything: fish, shrimp, squid, mussels, pork, beef, canned fish, croutons, ham, sausage... But the most popular and favorite is chicken. And this is not because chicken is relatively inexpensive, but because homemade chicken salad is very tasty.
In general, cooking is simple, you just need to know some rules for combining products. So, in this article we will look at:
1. What ingredients go best with chicken?
2. What gas stations can you use?
3. How to cook meat

What ingredients should you use to make it delicious?

Chicken meat is notable for the fact that it is good in any form: fried, boiled, smoked or stewed. It goes well with all the ingredients we usually put in. Therefore, any housewife can come up with her own original recipe and present it to guests for a holiday or simply pamper her family and friends. Don’t be afraid to show your imagination, because it’s so nice to come up with something new.
Due to the fact that chicken goes well with many foods, chicken salads are very diverse. You can find both spicy recipes and very original sweet ones, for example with pineapples. They are sweet so they contrast really well with the chicken and it makes for a very unique dish but very tasty. Another great addition is canned corn. Like canned pineapple, it is sweet and juicy, which goes very well with meat. Such recipes are more to the taste of women and children.
But you can make the dish spicy: for this you add garlic, hot pepper and even horseradish. Men like these recipes the most. Among all the recipes, the layered salad with horseradish and potatoes deserves special attention, which is perfect for the holiday table. This is a very successful recipe, although perhaps not everyone will like cooking it, because you need to grate the horseradish yourself.
Another great addition is pickled onions. Very simple, but it dramatically changes the taste. Not every recipe calls for pickling onions, but you can experiment at home. To do this, chop the onion, add sugar, vinegar and a little warm water. Let sit for about 30 minutes, squeeze out and rinse with water a little. That's all - the pickled onions are ready. And if you don’t have time to marinate, then you don’t have to wash the onions. It usually goes well in those salads that contain cheese, eggs and mayonnaise.
Mushrooms are a great addition to chicken salads. You can use fried, pickled or canned. It all depends on the chosen recipe. It’s also good to add cheese: hard, melted, moldy. As mentioned, poultry is very versatile, so don't be afraid to try new ingredients.

Gas stations

Such salads are also good because absolutely any dressing is suitable for them: from classic mayonnaise to vegetable oil.
Of course, the most delicious sauce is mayonnaise, to which you can add squeezed garlic, black pepper, herbs, vinegar or mustard. But such a salad will be very high in calories. And store-bought mayonnaise is not always healthy. In this case, we recommend preparing a dressing based on vegetable oil.
You can simply sprinkle with vegetable oil (olive, sunflower or whatever you like), or you can mix it with vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire or soy sauce, and black pepper. You can also prepare Caesar dressing from grated boiled yolks and olive oil. This is a matter of imagination and taste.
Well, if with vegetable oil it seems to you that it will turn out very simple, but you still don’t want mayonnaise, then replace it with sour cream, yogurt or even kefir. You can also add other ingredients to them: garlic, herbs, lemon juice, etc.

How to cook meat?

You can put chicken prepared in any way: boiled, fried, stewed, baked, smoked.
If you are on a diet or want to make a diet salad, then boil the fillet in salted water. Not only is it low in calories, but it is also the easiest option. You can add bay leaf and black pepper to the water for taste, and do not pour out the broth, but use it in preparing other dishes.
It will be very tasty to simmer the chicken in a thick-walled pan with black pepper and onions or fry it in a frying pan. Chicken fillet should be fried or stewed whole, not cut into pieces.
Recipes with smoked chicken deserve special attention. Buy only fresh meat to make the dish tasty and healthy.

Holiday options

Chicken salads are prepared for any occasion: birthday, New Year, March 8, etc. There are special requirements for holiday recipes: it must not only be tasty, but also beautiful. In such cases, you should pay attention to puff salads. Recipes vary, but those with layers of different colors look especially impressive, for example, a layer of boiled carrots, beets, green peas or cucumber. You can also put the ingredients in the shape of a snowman and sprinkle grated egg whites on top if it’s New Year’s, or in the shape of a heart if it’s Valentine’s Day. There are a lot of options. In addition, you can simply decorate it with something, for example, tomatoes cut into the shape of a flower, or put cherries around the edges. And, as an option, you can put it on lettuce leaves - this is also very beautiful and original.

This simultaneously produces a familiar taste and with new notes.

Simple salad with chicken, pineapples and tangerines

This salad is quite exotic, but the taste is simply amazing. In addition to pineapples, you can also add fresh tangerines to it. For the New Year, this salad will simply be a salvation for the hostess who wants to surprise guests who are bored with the monotonous cuisine.

For this salad you will need:

• chicken fillet - 500 grams,
• canned pineapples - 1 can,
• fresh tangerines - 3-4 pieces,
• hard cheese - 150 grams,
• greens for decoration,
• salt, pepper and mayonnaise.

Preparation:

1. Boil the chicken. Cook it for no more than half an hour and do not forget to salt the water; chicken meat salted during cooking will taste better in a salad. If you are using other parts of the chicken carcass other than the breast, remove the bones and do not add the skin to the salad.

Cut the chicken into medium sized pieces. It is best to focus on the fact that the pieces of all ingredients will be the same size.

2. Remove the pineapples from the jar and chop them into smaller pieces. Pineapple rings cut perfectly into small cubes. If you took the pineapple into pieces, you can reduce these pieces by cutting them in half, or you can leave them in their original size.

By the way! You can also use fresh pineapple in this simple chicken salad. In this case, it must be cleaned, cut into circles, and then into smaller pieces. This salad will be a little less sweet, since a lot of sugar is added to them when canning pineapples.

3. Peel the tangerines and separate them into slices. Remove the thin skin from each slice if it is too thick and noticeable. If the tangerines are small and have a thin film, you don’t have to do this. Cut each slice in half and add to the salad.

4. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and mix with all other ingredients in a large bowl.

5. Salt and pepper the resulting salad, season with mayonnaise and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Green lettuce leaves placed on a plate are good for decoration.

This chicken salad has a very unusual sweet and salty taste, but if you are a fan of salads with chicken and pineapple, then you will definitely like it.

Such a tasty and satisfying chicken salad can easily replace an entire lunch or dinner. But there is no shame in putting it on the holiday table, especially if you want to feed your guests well and at the same time save on expensive products.

For this salad, you can use frozen mushrooms collected in the summer and store-bought fresh champignons. Canned champignons in their own juice are also suitable, then they will not require additional processing, just put in the salad.

But what I like best is the option with fresh champignons; there is something in these mushrooms that goes perfectly with chicken.

• potatoes - 3 pieces,
• mushrooms (champignons) - 200 grams,
• pickled cucumbers - 150 grams,
• mayonnaise - 100 grams,
• salt and pepper to taste,

Preparation:

1. Boil the chicken in salted water. Half an hour will be enough. Cool it and cut it into small pieces.

2. Boil the potatoes until soft and cut them into cubes.

3. Remove the cucumbers from the marinade, let them drain a little and also finely cut into cubes or quartered rings.

4. Cut fresh champignons into pieces larger than the rest of the ingredients, as they will shrink during frying. Pour a little oil into a preheated frying pan and fry the champignons until the juice has evaporated and a light golden brown crust appears.

5. Finely chop the green onions.

6. Mix all the products in a salad bowl and season with mayonnaise. Taste for saltiness and add salt if necessary. After all, pickled cucumbers are already salted, and if the chicken was cooked with salt, then so was it. Don't over-salt the salad.

This simple and tasty salad will be one of the first to be eaten, and at a family dinner the household will definitely ask for more. Try it!

A simple recipe for a delicious salad with chicken, prunes, cucumbers and nuts

If you've been browsing through simple and delicious chicken salads and haven't yet come across salads with prunes, then this is simply a miracle. This dried fruit has long won its rightful place among the popular ingredients in chicken salads. It's all about how it combines perfectly and sets off the taste of chicken. If you look closely at many recipes, a slight sweet note in salads is very common. In addition to the fact that a salad with chicken and prunes will be delicious, it will also be healthy.

Unlike an exotic salad with chicken and pineapple, the sweet note will not be so pronounced, and the nutty taste will complement it perfectly.

2. Cool hard-boiled eggs thoroughly and peel them. Then cut them into cubes, for example with an egg slicer. Or you can cut into strips if the rest of the salad ingredients are larger.

3. Soak the prunes in hot water until they become soft. Then cool and chop finely.

4. Wash the cucumbers, cut off the tails and chop into strips.

5. Grate the chilled processed cheese on a coarse grater.
