INGREDIENTS

1 chicken breast
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 garlic clove
1 small piece of leek stalk
4 large potatoes
3 large carrots
1 can of whole grain corn (optional)
1/2 can of peas
1 egg
Mayonnaise
Worcestershire sauce
Lemon juice to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

The first step we must take to learn How to make chicken salad is to wash all the vegetables we are going to use well, as well as the chicken breast, making sure it has no bones and removing all the skin. To give this salad a more special touch, you can mix the mayonnaise with a couple of tablespoons of the broth in which we will cone the chicken.

In this recipe we don’t add onion, as it is a rather strong flavour that can end up suppressing the flavour of the rest of the ingredients, although if you want to add it, we recommend using a small amount. We will take a pot with water and add the chicken cube and the piece of leek, when it starts to boil we will place the chicken breast to cook it.
We will let it cook for about an hour or until we see that it no longer has pink parts but is completely white. Then we remove it from the heat and let it cool. Meanwhile we will boil water in another pot with a little salt, this step is important to learn How to make chicken salad, so we will peel and cut both the carrots and potatoes into cubes and put them in the boiling water.

We will know that they are ready when we prick them with the fork and they feel soft but not to the point of falling apart. We remove it from the heat and let it cool as well. In a bowl, we will mix the mayonnaise to taste, a few drops of lemon, a splash of the broth in which we cooked the chicken, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. We will take the chicken and shred it.

Then we will combine the shredded chicken, the well-drained peas and corn, the vegetables, the boiled and chopped egg in the salad bowl and mix and then add the mayonnaise that we just prepared. This is one of the easiest ways to learn how to make chicken salad so we simply mix everything well and serve. If you wish, you can keep it in the refrigerator a few minutes before serving so that it is cold.
