How to make a salad with chicken and mayonnaise? Very simple! 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. Tomatoes can use any, regular or cherry.

Wash the chicken fillet, dry. Salt, pepper. If desired, you can sprinkle the fillet with other spices to taste. I bake salad chicken, but you can boil it or fry it in a pan.

Wrap the fillet in foil and bake in the oven at 180 ° C for about 25 minutes until cooked through. Baking in the oven can be replaced with cooking or frying chicken in a pan.

Cut the chicken fillet into strips or use your hands to disassemble into fibers.

Wash the tomatoes, dry. Cut into bars. For this salad, choose tomatoes that are not very watery. If the tomatoes have too much liquid, it is better to cut the middle out of them and only then cut into bars. Tomatoes are needed dense. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well, in the process of cutting and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

Peel the bell peppers from the seeds and stalks and also cut into strips.

Wash the cucumber, dry and cut into strips. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut.

Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Optionally, you can marinate the onions in a mixture of vinegar and sugar for 20 minutes.

Grate the cheese over a coarse grater. I have ordinary Russian cheese.

Wash the parsley, shake off the moisture and chop finely. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, dill, cilantro, green onions or use a mixture of different herbs.

In a bowl, combine the baked chicken, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, cucumbers, cheese and herbs.

Season the salad with mayonnaise and stir. Serve immediately to the table. Enjoy your meal!
