Black chicken salad with prunes. Salad "Black Chicken" (step-by-step recipe with photos)

The salad with the whimsical name “Black Chicken” lives up to its name: its main component is... Why "Black"? I guess due to the presence of black grapes. Although, I also cooked it with white “Quiche-mish”, which is why the taste did not deteriorate at all. The main thing is that the grapes are seedless.

I’ll say right away: the “Black Chicken” salad is not for those who count calories! But it is very well suited for those who need an “energy charge”. Let me make a reservation that there are a huge number of options for preparing salads with this name. Moreover, they are completely different from each other. The only thing they have in common is the chicken component and the presence of a black ingredient (grapes, prunes).

Some people suggest using smoked meat, others adding orange. I will outline my version of the recipe and possible variations to it.

Cooking steps:

1) Wash the chicken breast, cut into thin small pieces, add salt and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Roll the breast pieces in flour and fry in sunflower oil until a beautiful golden crust forms. Those who want to “lighten” the salad can boil the breast and chop it finely. The salad will be a little more tender.

Ingredients:

Chicken breasts - 0.5 kg, seedless grapes (Kish-mish) - 400 g, nut kernels 100 g, eggs 2 pcs., dill, onions - a bunch, mayonnaise, butter and flour for frying.

Salad with prunes and chicken breast has entered our lives not so long ago. They started preparing it often around the beginning of the last decade. At the moment, there are simply a huge number of different recipes that contain both prunes and chicken. Preparing such salads in most cases is not difficult, however, there are several tricks that experienced chefs resort to to make their life even easier.

If onions are used in such salads, then it is better to take not ordinary onions, but white ones. It is much softer and more pleasant to taste. When preparing such salads, prunes should be steamed; to save yourself from this, you should use dried prunes. In some salads, you can use not boiled chicken meat, but, say, smoked meat, which will help significantly save time.

In addition to the fact that such salads are very tasty and in most cases have a very attractive appearance, they are really healthy. Firstly, prunes are simply a storehouse of useful microelements. Secondly, in most cases, a lot of greens and walnuts are added to such salads, which ensures the presence of simply a huge amount of vitamins.

How to prepare Black Chicken salad with chicken fillet and prunes

Boil the chicken fillet in 1 liter of water for 30 minutes, adding half a teaspoon of salt to the broth. I used breast meat, but any other part of the chicken will work.
Cool the fillet and chop finely.

Grate the cheese on a grater with large holes. Give preference to semi-hard cheeses with sufficient salt content, not bland. And as an experiment, you can try making a salad with smoked cheese.

Rinse the prunes thoroughly with warm water and cut into thin strips or small cubes. If the dried fruit is too dry, first pour boiling water over it for 15 minutes.

Chop the walnuts with a knife or using a blender. For more flavor, it is recommended to lightly toast the nuts in a dry frying pan first.
Leave a few nuts for decoration.

In a deep container, combine all the prepared ingredients: chicken, cheese, prunes and nuts. Season with a spicy sauce consisting of mayonnaise, pressed garlic and ground black pepper. Mix.
I don’t add salt, because it is already contained in mayonnaise and cheese, and we salted the chicken during cooking, but if you still don’t have enough salt for your taste, then add an additional pinch.
It is advisable to let the salad brew by placing it in the refrigerator for an hour, but eating it right away is also not forbidden.
“Black Chicken” salad can be served in a common salad bowl or in portions. Use walnut halves and greens to decorate the dish.
