Salad with mushrooms and chicken: traditionally luxurious taste and unconventional product combinations

For snacks, in most cases, fillet and breast are used, since the remaining parts of the chicken require additional processing. Before adding to the salad, the meat is cooked, fried, smoked. Heat treatment can be carried out independently. As for smoked breasts, buying a product in a store will save time.

Mistresses note

Why are champignons used in almost all recipes? They are very easy to clean. They have a gentle and unobtrusive taste. They can be replaced with chanterelles, honey mushrooms and other species. But if the recipe requires fried mushrooms, then the mushrooms do not need to be boiled beforehand (unlike the other varieties). Puff snacks soaked in mayonnaise. Fans of lighter meals can use sour cream sauce instead. Assorted salads are prepared without mayonnaise. As its substitute are olive, sunflower oil, lemon juice.
