The original recipe for this salad used hazel grouse, but they were and still are a delicacy. Therefore, I will tell you how to prepare Olivier salad with chicken: not so sophisticated, but tasty!

Description of preparation:

“Olivier” with chicken in Soviet times was often called “Stolichny” salad, but, as a rule, it was listed as such on the menu of restaurants and cafes, and at home it remained the same favorite “Olivier” :).
This salad, so familiar to everyone, has already become a legend. They talk and write a lot about it, remember the history of the creation of the salad, discuss its composition and sauce, but we will talk about the familiar, classic version of its preparation with chicken.

How to prepare Olivier salad with chicken

1. To prepare Olivier salad with chicken, we need to open a can of peas. Drain the water and place the peas in a deep bowl.

2. Boiled chicken meat (I have two chicken legs) needs to be removed from the bone and chopped finely.

3. Chop the greens and add to the bowl.

4. Cut the fresh cucumber into small cubes. If you have an overripe cucumber, remove the seeds first and only then cut the cucumber for salad. Large seeds spoil the salad.

5. Boiled eggs must be cut into small cubes.

6. Boiled carrots need to be peeled and cut into small cubes.

7. Peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into cubes.

8. Place all prepared ingredients in a bowl. Mix. Add a little salt and pepper. Mix.

9. Season the salad with a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir. Decorate the dish and serve.

If you look at history, the creator of the dish, French chef Lucien Olivier, instead of beef, added pieces of boiled hazel grouse and crayfish to the salad.

3. Remove the peel from boiled carrots and cut into small cubes.

4. Cool the eggs, peel them and also cut them into cubes.

Olivier recipe with chicken breast

For this salad, I prefer pickled cucumber. It adds its own spicy taste. Chicken breast is also an important ingredient. The main thing is not to overcook it, otherwise it will be tough. Carrots add a subtle, sweet note. Some people don’t like her, of course that’s your business, you can do without her. We love carrots, so feel free to add them!

Every housewife has her own secret for making Olivier salad. This recipe has such a twist. Now I’ll tell you and show you everything.

Ingredients

Chicken
Boiled eggs - 3 pcs.
Boiled potatoes - 3-4 pcs.
Boiled carrots - 1 pc.
Pickled cucumber - 2-3 pcs.
Canned peas - 1 can
Onion - 1 pc. (optional)
Maonez
Greenery

It’s up to you to decide which part of the chicken to take; it’s up to each individual. Today I have a light Olivier salad with chicken breast.

But when you boil the breast for salad, put it in boiling water so that all its properties are preserved.

Important!!! If you are boiling chicken for broth, then put it in cold water, and if for salad, then put it in boiling water.

Potatoes and carrots also need to be boiled until ready. Also place them in boiling, salted water. You can check readiness with a regular fork. Vegetables should be easily pierced.

Cut the boiled chicken breast into small cubes, about 1 cm wide.

Cut the boiled potatoes and carrots into exactly the same cubes as the breast.

Mix all ingredients in a salad bowl.

Drain the liquid from the peas and add to the total mass.

Cut the pickled cucumber and eggs into the same cube or even smaller. You can use an egg slicer to cut eggs. She makes a cube about 0.5 cm.

At this stage, you can finely chop the onions, if of course you like them.

Mixed and stirred).

Add mayonnaise to taste and mix again so that every cube in the salad is saturated with mayonnaise.

Ready! Place in a beautiful salad bowl, decorate with herbs on top and serve. Tender, light Olivier with chicken breast is ready.

And we move on to the next Olivier recipe, namely...

Olivier with chicken according to a simple classic recipe is ready

We serve it in portions, or, as usual, in a large and beautiful salad bowl and in the center of the table, my friend has earned this privilege! It’s not for nothing that foreigners call Olivier a Russian salad. He belongs in the center of the table!

Most likely, I didn’t discover any America today, I just reminded that the main holiday is coming soon, which means it’s time to create a holiday menu. And please don’t forget about Olivier, without him the New Year is not so New Year’s, and the festive table is not so festive.

See you again!
