2 Delicious Chicken Salad Recipes

preparation

1. First you peel the carrots and potatoes.
2. Then you boil both of them in salt water.
3. After 8 minutes you can remove the carrots from the boiling water. The potatoes need a little more cooking time.
4. Now add the whole celery and parsley to the pot.
5. The potatoes require a total of 20 to 25 minutes to cook. To see if they’re done, take a knife and use it to prick a potato. As soon as it comes off the knife easily, the potatoes are done.
6. Now you can finely chop the garlic.
7. Then you put the chicken breasts in another saucepan with water and add onion and garlic.
8. Now add the bay leaf and a little salt to the pot and bring the water with the chicken and the ingredients to a boil. As soon as it boils, turn the temperature down to the lowest level. Let everything simmer for another 15 minutes.
9. Once the potatoes and carrots are cooked, you can cut them into small pieces. Do the same with the chicken breasts once they’re cooked.
10. Finally, put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them with the mayonnaise and mustard. Give the salad a good stir.
