The first thing you think about when you mention this salad is that it is very tasty, and when you read its composition, everything falls into place.

The poppy that garnishes the Stoned Chicken salad on top is self-explanatory, but jokes aside, this treat is sure to please. Although the components in this appetizer are all the most common, but their combination and subtle poppy shade create an original picture of taste, and the look of the salad is very creative.

It cannot be said that this salad is known everywhere, but this only adds to its mystery, because at the festive feast you really want to surprise all the guests with something special. So it's time to make room for the traditional Russian Olivier and give way to the place of honor on the table "Hen stoned".

Features of salad with poppy seeds and chicken meat

• The salad is based on smoked chicken breast, which gives the appetizer a smoky aroma and incomparable taste.
• Freshness and unexpressed sourness is assigned to the share of tomatoes.
• Boiled eggs give tenderness and satiety to the salad, and in the updated version of the salad there is also cheese.
• Crackers are responsible for piquancy and originality, which you can cook with your own hands or buy ready-made ones with the taste of barbecue, salami or cheese.

• Well, the creative "manager" of this dish is, of course, poppy.

By the way, if you do not like eggs or you are allergic to this product, then it can be removed from the recipe without much loss for taste and nutritional value.

Smoked chicken can also be replaced with boiled fillet. However, then when cooking chicken meat, do not be afraid to use spices, herbs and salt, because the chicken breast itself is quite bland, so it will not be superfluous to enrich it with fragrant additives. But don't overdo it!

How to make salad croutons at home

1. 3 tbsp oil (olive or non-aromatic sunflower) is poured into a cup, where we also send garlic crushed with the flat part of the knife blade (1-2 teeth).
2. We put the cup in the microwave and heat it for half a minute. During this time, the oil will absorb the garlic flavor.
3. Wheat bun (8 slices) cut into cubes with a cross section of 1 cm.
4. We shift the cubes into a bag or bowl, where we also pour 2 tbsp. l. garlic oil, add a pinch of salt and mix everything thoroughly, but gently.
5. Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet and send them to the oven for 25 minutes, where at a temperature of 150 ° C the crackers are dried and baked until they are crunchy and golden brown.

How to Make Homemade Chicken Dazed Chicken Salad in a Hurry

There are very few variations of this salad, besides, they do not have large-scale modifications, but revolve around the classic recipe, which we present step by step.

A special plus of this dish is its simple and very fast cooking, only 20-25 minutes, and even then, taking into account the boiling of eggs.

Boil and cut the necessary components for the salad

• We put the eggs in an enameled container half filled with water, and set it to heat up on a very hot burner. After boiling the eggs, cook for a quarter of an hour, but at the same time reduce the fire by half. After that, we take the eggs out of boiling water and lower them into a large container with ice water - we keep them there until completely cooled.
• Meanwhile, cut the chicken fillet into small cubes with a cross section of 0.7-1 cm.
• Tomatoes for salad are best to take fleshy varieties with a lot of pulp and a minimum of juice. Cut the tomatoes into cubes of 0.7-1 cm and, after salting, transfer to a sieve so that the juice is a little stacked.
• We clean the cooled chicken eggs from the shell and rub with medium shavings on a grater.

Assembling a quick puff salad on a beautiful plate

• We put the forming ring on the dish. We lay the chicken on the bottom with the first layer and grease it with mayonnaise.
• Next comes a layer of tomatoes, which also need to be smeared with mayonnaise. If desired, the vegetable can be seasoned with pepper.
• Next, we put a layer of eggs mixed with mayonnaise, and on them we spread croutons in an even layer one to one.
• Mayonnaise also needs to be applied to the croutons, since we will sprinkle poppy seeds on top of the salad, so it is important that it does not fall on top.

Poppy in itself is a salad decoration, however, if you wish, you can add your touches to the design of the dish. The forming ring must be removed before serving.

Preparing for slicing products for chicken salad with poppy seeds

• We transfer the chicken fillet to a three-liter saucepan, fill it with cold water, add laurel, pepper, cloves, salt to taste and put on high heat.
• As soon as the water boils, reduce the flame to medium and cook the chicken over moderate heat for 25 minutes.
• We also set the eggs to boil, but after boiling, they should be boiled for 15 minutes, after which we drain the boiling water, and pour cold water into the saucepan, in which the eggs will cool.
• Cut the tomato into small cubes (0.7 cm) and transfer the slices to a sieve (colander) to drain excess juice.
• We rub the cheese with large shavings on a grater.
• We also grind the cooled and peeled eggs coarsely on a grater.
• We shift the mayonnaise into a plastic bag and collect it in the corner. We tie the bag so that the knot supports the sauce. We make a small hole in the corner of the bag - so we can apply a thin mayonnaise mesh to each layer.
• We cut the boiled and cooled chicken meat into cubes of the same size as a tomato.

We collect the salad layer by layer in a salad bowl

• Put the chicken + mayonnaise on the bottom of the salad bowl.
• Next come tomatoes + salt + mayonnaise.
• The third layer is laid eggs + salt + mayonnaise.
• Then sprinkle the eggs with grated cheese, which is also covered with a mayonnaise net.

• Lay the croutons in an even layer on the cheese, grease them with a thin layer of mayonnaise and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Now the “Dazed Chicken” salad should be put in the refrigerator for an hour or two to soak, and then served at the table and receive compliments from guests.

“Kicked Chicken” is a salad that not only has the original name, but also boasts of its great taste. This dish is valuable because the ingredients included in it can be found in the kitchen of absolutely any housewife. But there is still one small nuance that many, having started cooking, forget. But it was thanks to him that the salad “Dazed Chicken” got its ambiguous name. But more on that later. In the meantime, let's still find out what products are included in the composition of the dish.

Hen

The first and main ingredient is, of course, chicken. It is her that we will introduce "to the buzz." For a salad, it is better to take the pulp, and nothing more than a breast is suitable for this. You can use other parts of the chicken, but then be prepared for the fact that you have to tinker with the bones, peeling the flesh from them. The chicken can be taken both smoked and boiled.

There are no questions about smoked meat: you bought it, cut the meat into pieces and start cooking. But the boiled one needs to be approached with special attention. Firstly, it is better to boil in advance so that it has time to cool and give off excess water. Secondly, the broth in which the chicken is boiled should be salted at the end, then the meat will retain its juiciness and taste. And thirdly, don't overdo it. Since the salad is dressed with mayonnaise, extra salt is completely unnecessary here.

So the chicken is ready. By the way, for a regular salad it will take about 300-450 grams. This is either one large breast, or a pair of legs. By the way, already cut into slices, it is better to fry in an almost dry frying pan until golden brown: it will be tastier.

Bread

The second ingredient that the Rocked Chicken Salad recipe calls for is bread. But not any, but white. His choice should also be approached carefully, because the quality of the loaf pieces in the salad will depend on its taste.

You should not take a very fresh bun, it will be poorly cut or crumble. And since we will fry the bread, we need to cut it into perfectly even cubes. It is unlikely that this will work with fresh pastries. Therefore, it is better to take the most ordinary loaf, maybe even yesterday, and even better - a long baguette.

Slice the bread with a sharp, thin-bladed knife. You will see: working with such a tool is a real pleasure! So, we cut half of the baguette or loaf into neat cubes, and then fry in a hot pan with a minimum amount of oil. The final color should be golden. By the way, you can prepare a bun for the “Dazed Chicken” salad in the oven, and even slightly drying it in the desired mode. The main thing is not to miss the time and not to make coals instead of crackers.

What else?

The rest of the products we need are tomatoes, eggs, mayonnaise. Three pieces of ripe tomatoes are enough. Pay attention that the vegetables are not overripe. In this case, they will let the juice go and make the dish too wet, which, oh, how the "Dazed Chicken" does not like! The salad must be perfect.

You need to cut the tomatoes with the same knife as the bread, that is, very sharp. Before we start slicing the rest of the products, let's take care of cooking the eggs. They need to be boiled. And it is advisable to do this in advance so that they have time to cool. Remember the simple secret? We cool the eggs under cold water, then they will not cause concern during cleaning. Cut them and tomatoes into small cubes and, without mixing, set aside.

Main secret

All the ingredients seem to be listed: chicken, tomatoes, eggs, white bread, mayonnaise… What have you forgotten about? What is this mysterious product, thanks to which "Kicked Chicken" - a salad, in principle, unpretentious - received such a name?

Let's open a mac. Yes, yes, it is him. Of course, now there are a lot of different packages with confectionery poppy seeds on sale, it is widely used in the preparation of cakes, rolls, pastries and, as you already understood, salads. Well, now it’s not difficult to guess why our chicken was high. To fully experience the taste of the salad, it is better to take more poppy seeds. We will sprinkle the top layer with it, but everything will mix up in the plate anyway.

Chicken High Salad: Recipe

Now that all the products are ready, you can proceed directly to the formation of the salad. It is laid out in layers. Moreover, this can be done both in a deep salad bowl and on a flat dish: the choice always remains with the hostess. The first (bottom) layer lay out the chicken, cut into cubes (if it is boiled - fried until golden brown). Lubricate a little with mayonnaise, and even better - make a thin mesh of it.

The next layer is tomatoes, also with mayonnaise mesh. Gently place the eggs on top of them. They can not be lubricated, but immediately sprinkled with croutons, that is, fried cubes of a loaf. By the way, instead of home-cooked croutons, some suggest using store-bought croutons like Kompashek. This is up to you, but crackers from a pack may be too stale, which will negatively affect the quality of the dish. So, pour the last layer with mayonnaise and sprinkle thickly with poppy seeds. High Chicken is a salad that will surprise everyone. And he's ready!

Then, carefully removing the form, we get a salad in which all layers will be visible. If there are small rings, then "Dazed Chicken" can be served in portions. Decorate the salad with herbs and cherry tomatoes.
