How to cook Classic chicken salad

Step 1

Pour 1.5 liters of cold water into a roasting pan or pan with a thick bottom, add 2 tbsp. salt. Submerge the cleaned chicken breasts in water.

Step 5

Dry the chicken fillet with paper towels and cut into slices 5-7 mm thick. Place in bowl with dressing. Add celery, shallots and herbs. Mix and arrange in "boats" of lettuce leaves.
