How do you make a classic Brooklyn salad with chicken, cucumbers and broccoli? Very simple and fast! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. The vegetable part can be supplemented or replaced to your liking. Chicken can be replaced with any other meat.

Wash the chicken fillet and boil in boiling salted water until tender for about 20 minutes. Then chill the chicken and cut into small cubes. Instead of boiled chicken, you can fry the fillet in a pan or bake in the oven in foil. Instead of fresh chicken, you can use smoked chicken.

Wash the champignons, dry and cut into plates. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and fry the mushrooms until golden.

Boil the broccoli in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes until cooked. The exact time depends on the size of the inflorescences and the degree of heating. Broccoli can be used fresh or frozen. If you use frozen cabbage, you do not need to defrost it first.

Tip the cabbage into a colander and roll over the icy water to keep the colour bright. Let the water drain. If the inflorescences are large, disassemble into smaller ones.

Shake the cucumbers off the brine and cut into small cubes. If you have small diameter cucumbers, you can cut them into circles.

Drain the liquid from the canned corn, dry the grains.

In a salad bowl, combine chicken, broccoli, cucumbers, fried mushrooms and canned corn. Season the salad with sour cream and mayonnaise and stir.

Transfer the salad to a plate and serve. Enjoy your meal!
