How to make a salad with pancakes and chicken? Chicken breast should be thoroughly washed and boiled in salted water. While the breast cooks and cools, there is time to bake pancakes and prepare the rest of the ingredients.

I cooked pancakes on the simplest, on wheat flour. To make the dough work without lumps, I always first mix egg, salt, sugar and flour, rub it properly with a whisk, and then add warm milk. If there are still lumps, the dough can be strained through a sieve. Of this amount, I got 6 pancakes.

Heat the pan, brush with vegetable oil. Pancakes are baked very quickly, you don't need to fry them very much, otherwise it will be problematic to roll them into a tube.

The edges of pancakes are always thinner than the middle, they can be used for decoration. For this, cut the edges 1. 5-2 cm wide. I did not find the rings of the desired diameter, so I cut out the lid with a sharp edge, just pushing the pancake around the entire circle of the lid. Can be trimmed with a regular knife or pizza knife on a suitably sized plate. Roll the remaining pancakes into a tube and cut into a width of about 0. 5 cm.

Cool the boiled breast and cut into not very small pieces so that the chicken meat feels like an independent ingredient in the salad, and not a ground mass. Cut the cucumbers. I have fresh, medium-sized cucumbers, and it was convenient to cut them with straws. But pickled gherkins came across very small, I just cut them into rings. Rinse the dill, dry and finely chop. We leave a few twigs for decoration.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cucumbers, corn, pancakes and dill, salt and season with mayonnaise. In my case, this is sour cream, since no one eats mayonnaise in our family. You can replace with yogurt or any of your favorite sauce.

Put the salad in a beautiful salad bowl or plate. Divide the trimmed edges of the pancakes in half and roll to make "roses, " and decorate the finished dish with them and sprigs of dill.
