Cooking vegetable and chicken salad
1. Rinse the chicken fillet and cut off the film. Dip into a saucepan, fill with drinking water and put on the stove over high heat. When the water boils, remove the foam formed with a slotted spoon, reduce the temperature to the minimum and continue to cook the meat for about half an hour until tender. Don't forget to season it with salt.
2. Remove the cooked meat from the pan and cool completely. Do not pour out the broth, but use it for soup or simply drink it with bread or crackers.
3. By this time, finely chop the cabbage and place in a salad bowl. If it is winter, sprinkle with a little salt and press down with your hands so that it lets out the juice. You do not need to do this with young fruits, because they are juicy anyway.
4. Wash tomatoes and cucumbers and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut them into strips and add to a salad bowl.
5. Cut the cooled chicken meat into strips and add to all products.
6. Season the ingredients with olive oil, season with salt and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. Stir food and serve salad to the table. If you do not serve it right away, add the tomatoes just before the treat, because they will release the juice and the dish will become watery, which will ruin its taste.
