"Hen under the buzz" - salad for all occasions

"Chicken under the buzz" - a salad that not only has the original name, but also boasts of its magnificent taste. This dish is valuable in that the ingredients included in it are found in the kitchen of absolutely any mistress. But there is still one small nuance about which many, having begun to prepare, forget. But it was thanks to him that the salad "Chicken under the buzz" received its ambiguous name. But about this a little later. In the meantime, let's still find out what foods are included in the dish.

Hen

The first and main ingredient is, of course, chicken. This is what we will introduce into "high". For a salad it is better to take the flesh, but for this nothing but a breast will do. You can use other parts of the chicken, but then be prepared for the fact that you have to tinker with bones, picking off the flesh from them. Chicken can be taken as smoked or boiled.

There are no smoked questions: they bought them, cut the meat into slices and started cooking. But to cook it is necessary to approach with special attention. First, boil better beforehand, so that it has time to cool down and give off excess water. Secondly, the broth in which the chicken is brewed should be salted in the end, then the meat will retain its juiciness and taste. Well, thirdly, do not overdo it. Since the salad is dressed with mayonnaise, there is absolutely no need for extra salt.

So, the chicken is ready. By the way, for a conventional salad it will take about 300-450 grams. This or one large breast, or a pair of legs. By the way, boiled chicken, already cut slices, it is better to fry in a practically dry frying pan to a golden crust: it will be more delicious.

Bread

The second ingredient that requires a salad recipe is "Chicken under the buzz" - it's bread. But not any, but white. To his choice, too, should be approached carefully, because of the quality of the pieces of the loaf in the salad, its taste will depend also. Do not take a very fresh loaf, it will be bad to cut or crumble. And since we will fry the bread, it is necessary to cut it perfectly smooth cubes. Hardly it will turn out with a fresh batch. Therefore, it is better to take the most ordinary loaf, maybe even yesterday, or even better - a long baguette.

To cut bread it is necessary sharply sharpened knife with a thin edge. You will see: it is a pleasure to work as such an instrument! So, half of the baguette or loaf is cut neatly cubes, and then fry in a hot frying pan with a minimum amount of oil. The final color should be golden. By the way, to prepare a bun for a salad "Chicken under the buzz" can be in the oven, and even in the microwave, slightly dried on the desired mode. The main thing is not to miss the time and not to make charcoal instead of crackers.

What else?

The rest of the products that we need are tomatoes, eggs, mayonnaise. Three pieces of ripe tomatoes are enough. Pay attention to ensure that the vegetables are not overripe. In this case, they will let the juice in and make the dish too wet, but oh, how they do not like "Chicken under the buzz"! Salad should be perfect.

To cut tomatoes you need the same knife as bread, that is very sharp. Before you start cutting other products, take care of cooking eggs. They need to be welded. And it is advisable to do this in advance so that they can cool down. Remember a simple secret? Eggs cool with cold water, then they will not cause trouble during cleaning. We cut them and tomatoes in small cubes and, without mixing, we set aside.

The main secret

All the ingredients seem to be listed: chicken, tomatoes, eggs, white bread, mayonnaise ... What have you forgotten about? What is this mysterious product, thanks to which "Hen under the buzz" - a salad, in principle, unpretentious - got that name?

Let's open the secret: it's a poppy. Yes, yes, it was he. Of course, now on sale there are a lot of different packages with confectionery poppy, it is widely used in the preparation of cakes, rolls, cakes and, as you already understood, salads. Well, now it's not at all difficult to guess why our chicken was stoned. To fully experience the taste of a salad, the poppy is better to take more. Sprinkle them will be the top layer, but after all in the plate all the same everything mixes up.

"Chicken under the buzz" salad: recipe

Now that all the products are ready, you can proceed directly to the formation of a salad. It is laid out in layers. And you can do it both in a deep salad bowl and on a flat dish: the choice is always for the mistress. The first (lower) layer is laid out the chicken, cut into cubes (if it is boiled - fried until golden brown). A little grease with mayonnaise, or even better - we make a thin mesh from it.

The next layer is tomatoes, also with mayonnaise mesh. We carefully lay out eggs on them. They can not be lubricated, but sprinkled with croutons, that is, roasted cubes of a loaf. By the way, instead of toasts, cooked at home, some suggest using purchased crunches such as "Kompashek". It's up to you, but the crunches from the pack can be too stiff, which will negatively affect the quality of the dish. So, the last layer of water with mayonnaise and thickly sprinkled with poppy seeds. "The chicken is high" - a salad that will surprise everyone. And he's ready!

Little secret

By the way, if you decide to form a salad on a flat plate, you can do it very nicely. To do this, we need a special round shape without a bottom, and through it we will spread the ingredients. Then, carefully taking off the form, we will receive a salad in which all layers will be looked through. If there are small rings, then "chicken under the buzz" can be served portionwise. We adorn the salad with herbs and cherry tomatoes.
