If you like to experiment in the kitchen, creating interesting and tasty dishes, prepare a chicken salad with oranges, which will surely take its pride of place on any festive table.
It would seem that at first glance, incompatible products can give a dish a special piquancy and originality. For example, delicious salads, the main ingredients are chicken and oranges. Modern housewives know a lot of recipes for their preparation. Here are just a few of them.
To prepare the first salad, you will need one can of canned pineapples, 2 oranges, boiled chicken meat - 200-250 g, 100 g of carbonate, a can of pickled mushrooms, one bell pepper, a handful of raisins (preferably a seedless variety) and 100-150 g of chopped walnuts nuts.
Pour hot water over the raisins and leave to swell for 20-30 minutes. At this time, cut the chicken, pepper, carb, pineapple and oranges into cubes into cubes. Add mushrooms. Then mix everything thoroughly and season with mayonnaise. If desired, the salad can be laid out in layers in any order of its components. Sprinkle generously with chopped walnuts before serving.
The salad is no less original, which includes boiled chicken breast, oranges, fried mushrooms, canned corn and hard cheese. Chop the breast into small pieces.
A salad will turn out no less interesting if you use not boiled breast in it, but smoked one.
Cut the champignons into strips and fry in vegetable oil. Cool it down. Peel the oranges, remove the white fibers, cut into cubes or small pieces. Mix mushrooms, chicken, fruits, add corn. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. To rub it better, put it in the freezer for a few minutes or dry it slightly beforehand. Stir the ingredients and season with mayonnaise. Salting this salad is optional.
A garlic clove passed through a press will add piquancy to this salad.
When preparing a salad from chicken and oranges, you can get by with much less costs. For the next recipe, you will need boiled chicken breast, several oranges, previously peeled and films, and onions marinated in vinegar or lemon juice, cut into half rings. Combine meat, fruits, onions and season with mayonnaise. Sprinkle walnuts or pomegranate seeds over the salad if you like.
In the absence of lemon juice, you can replace it with several citric acid granules diluted in warm water.
For those who do not like mayonnaise, you can advise using salad recipes, where natural yogurt is used as a dressing. True, the ingredients in the dish will be somewhat different. To chicken (boiled or smoked) and oranges, you can add hard cheese and a diced green apple. For flavor and piquancy, the salad can be sprinkled with a small amount of pomegranate seeds.
The dish will turn out to be interesting if you diversify it with fresh cucumber, ham, pineapple or tangerine. Yogurt or mayonnaise in a salad, if desired, can be replaced with sour cream. But in this case, do not forget to lightly salt the dish.
Some housewives also add crab sticks or crab meat to their chicken and orange salad, as well as croutons (preferably not from the store) or chips.
