45 minutes

Chicken salad with potatoes and eggs is a hearty and impressive dish that combines the crispy texture of fried potatoes with the tenderness of chicken fillet and the spiciness of pickled mushrooms. Originating from American cuisine, it evokes cozy home-cooked meals by uniting classic ingredients in an original presentation. The salad is styled like a 'nest,' where the main elements—meat, cheese, greens, and eggs—create a harmony of flavors. A light garlic note adds zest while mayonnaise enriches the dish further. It is perfect for both festive tables and cozy family dinners, surprising not only with its taste but also with its original appearance.
