How to make the most delicious chicken salad at home?
Take one medium-sized chicken breast. Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and cut it in half (we will use half a chicken breast for this salad). Slice the halved chicken breasts into slices.
Take a frying pan. Place the pan on a medium hot hob. Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.
When the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan. Sprinkle the chicken slices generously on both sides with the chicken seasoning. First sprinkle the chicken seasoning on one side of the chicken breasts, then turn the chicken pieces over and sprinkle the chicken seasoning on the other side of the chicken pieces. Bake the seasoned chicken for about 10 minutes (5 minutes on each side), until the chicken is lightly browned.
While the chicken is cooking, start preparing the salad. Take two large romaine lettuce leaves. Wash the lettuce leaves well under hot water and rinse them under cold water. Drain the lettuce leaves and place them on a cutting board. Cut the romaine lettuce leaves into slices and place them in a salad bowl.
Take three small tomatoes. Sweet little tomatoes are best for this salad. Wash the tomatoes well under hot water and rinse under cold water. Cut the tomatoes into quarters and place in a salad bowl.
Take one small sprig of parsley, wash it well and place it on a chopping board. Chop the parsley well and add it to the salad bowl.
Meanwhile, the chicken breasts should be sufficiently cooked and browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it in a separate bowl. We will use the chicken for the salad later.
Take one slice of sandwich bread and place it on a cutting board. Cut the bread into small cubes.
Place the frying pan on the hob and heat to medium heat. Add two tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Add the pieces of sliced bread to the pan and mix well with the oil in the pan.
Sprinkle a little black pepper on the bread.
Also sprinkle a pinch of hard Parmesan cheese on the bread. Mix the bread with the cheese so that the cheese sticks together with the pieces of bread. Bake the bread on a medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until the bread is browned and crispy.
While the bread is baking in the pan, add one large tablespoon of mayonnaise to the salad bowl (if you want a leaner version of the salad, use Greek yoghurt instead of mayonnaise).
Mix the mayonnaise and lettuce well in the salad bowl. Place the tossed salad on the plate on which you will serve the salad for eating.
Place some pieces of toasted bread on top of the salad on the plate.
Also place a couple of slices of browned chicken on the salad.
Sprinkle the salad with hard Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
