Festive chicken salad with prunes and walnuts

I can’t say that the salad is quite new, but it has not lost its relevance. It is called differently in different places. Some will know it as “Ladies' Caprice”, some as “Marseille”, but no matter what it is called, the taste does not change.

Ingredients:

chicken fillet 500-600 gr.
hard cheese 200 gr.
prunes 100 gr.
Korean carrots 350 gr.
walnut grains 50 gr.
eggs 6 pcs.
mayonnaise
garlic, salt and pepper to taste

Cooking process:

Since we need the meat boiled, we’ll start by putting the breast on to boil. Next, take the prunes, rinse them and soak them in warm water for 20-30 minutes. Also set the eggs to boil. After the prunes are well soaked in water, cut them into small squares. Separate the boiled meat into fibers and chop the eggs. Cut the yolks separately from the whites.

The walnut grains will need to be lightly dried in a dry frying pan or in the oven, then chopped and mixed with Korean carrots.

Next, you can start assembling the salad. We lay the layers in the following sequence.

prunes
chicken meat
carrots with nuts
grated cheese
egg whites
egg yolks

Be sure to grease each layer with mayonnaise. After adding protein, the salad needs to be coated with mayonnaise not only on top, but also on the sides. This is necessary so that the yolks stick well to the sides. Afterwards, you need to put this masterpiece in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so that the layers are well saturated.

Before serving, you can garnish with parsley or dill leaves. How do you like this design option for this salad?

Many people have cooked the whole chicken in the oven, but we often use the recipes of our mothers and grandmothers. If you want chicken with a crispy crust and citrus notes, then cook it with apples and oranges according to our recipe. The meat turns out tender, melting in your mouth with a surprisingly tasty crust. This dish is definitely worth preparing and delighting your guests for the holiday!

vegetable oil – 1 tbsp. l.;
salt, ground black pepper - to taste.

Preparation:

Wash the chicken well under running water and dry it on a paper towel.
Trim off excess fat, tail and excess skin on the neck. If necessary, remove remaining feathers.
Using a tablespoon, lift the skin on the breast.
The recipe requires coarse salt. Rub it around the entire perimeter of the carcass and under the skin.
Let's start preparing the marinade, this is where the whole secret lies. In a bowl, mix mustard, ground ginger, adjika, rosemary, pressed garlic, meat seasoning, soy sauce, vegetable oil, salt and pepper.
Rub the prepared marinade all over the carcass, under the skin on the breast and inside. Leave to marinate for 2-3 hours.
Wash apples and oranges thoroughly under the tap and cut into large slices. Remove the center and stems from the apple.
Grease a baking dish for chicken with butter and place the chicken in it.
Place small pieces of butter under the skin of the breast. This way the breast will not dry out, and the meat will remain juicy and soft.
Place chopped apples and oranges inside the carcass. Sew with thick thread or fasten with toothpicks.
To prevent the legs from burning and drying out, we tie them together with threads.
We make cuts in the sides of the carcass with a knife in the form of pockets and put the wings in them.
Pour some water into the baking container.
Turn on the oven at 190 degrees and wait until it warms up well.
Place the chicken carcass in the preheated oven.
Bake for 40 minutes, then remove.
Pour the juice over the chicken and turn it over. Let's bake again.
Bake like this for another half hour.
We take it out again and pour the juice over it; there is no need to turn it over.
Bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
We take it out and turn it over again, bake again for another 10 minutes so that the same golden crust appears on the back side.
Serve hot on a large, beautiful platter. Bon appetit!

The baking time for chicken depends on its size, so monitor the time yourself and increase or decrease it if necessary.

Advice!

We recommend marinating the chicken in advance, preferably leaving it in the marinade overnight.
