How to make a salad with oranges and chicken? Prepare the products. The original recipe is made with Peking cabbage, but any green salad - iceberg, frizzee, ordinary leaf - is suitable. Take chicken fillet from the breast, better if it is chilled.

First of all, caramelize the nuts. How to caramelise nuts? To do this, add honey to the water and stir them until smooth.

Place the pan over a small heat and pour a mixture of water and honey over it. As soon as it boils, pour peeled walnuts into it. With constant stirring, fry the nuts in the resulting caramel until golden. Get each nucleolus wrapped in caramel. It takes very little time, two or three minutes. Only make sure that the caramel does not start to burn, as soon as it darkens, turn off the heat.

Place the caramelised nuts on a plate lined with baking paper. Leave them to cool.

Chicken meat for salad can be boiled, baked or fried. I'll boil it. How to cook chicken fillet? Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan, add the salt. Lower the meat into the water. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes with a low simmer over a low heat. Then leave the meat in the broth until completely cooled. The meat cooked in this way will be soft and juicy. Since this takes a long time, it is better to boil the meat in advance.

Collect the salad. Take a flat plate, on it the salad will look more beautiful and it will be more convenient to lay it out. Or make portions on individual plates. Wash the sheets of Peking cabbage (or other salad), dry and tear with the first layer. It is I who vomit the salad, since it will quickly oxidize, curl and lose its appetizing appearance. Crush the boiled meat onto salad leaves. You can also do this with your hands, dividing the meat into fibers.

Wash the orange well, dry and cut the skin with a knife, gripping the white part, as you will only need pulp. Cut out the wedges with a knife without affecting the partitions. Spread the resulting pulp on top of the salad, dividing each wedge in half.

It's time to make a dressing. Prepare the products for her. Take any vegetable oil, to taste or presence. It will taste better if it is unrefined, but this is again a matter of taste. Choose the soy sauce of natural fermentation, without unnecessary additives. Balsamic vinegar can be replaced with regular table, apple or lemon juice.

How to make a gas station? Squeeze the juice from the remaining half of the orange, trying to keep the bones out of it. If the flesh gets in, it's not scary, it will even taste better. Pour butter, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar into the juice. Add some salt and pepper. Consider that soy sauce already contains salt. Mix the sauce well until smooth.

Pour the salad generously over the sauce. Crumble the caramelised nuts on top. Wash and dry the parsley sprigs. Garnish the greens over the top of the salad.

Serve the finished salad immediately to the table, as, standing, it will give a lot of juice, which will negatively affect the appearance and taste. Enjoy your meal!
