Instructions
Step 1
First you need to boil the chicken fillet. To do this, bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil, add salt and throw chicken fillet into it, when the water with chicken meat boils again, reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Then remove the bone (if any), peel off skin, films and veins and cut into cubes.
Step 2
Rinse the beans, immediately cover with water, salt and cook for the required amount of time over low heat under a lid. When the beans are cooked, they should be rinsed with boiled water and allowed to drain.
Step 3
Cut champignons or fresh porcini mushrooms into slices and fry a little in olive oil. It is also possible to add not fried mushrooms to the salad. If you have only dried porcini mushrooms available, then they need to be soaked in boiled water for 10-12 hours, then boiled or fried. By weight, dried porcini mushrooms will be required 2-3 times less than fresh ones.
Step 4
Wash lettuce leaves, shake off the water, and then tear into smaller feathers. Process the parsley as well and chop finely. If desired, parsley can be replaced with any other spicy herb that suits your taste.
Step 5
Wash the bell pepper, cut lengthwise, peel and cut into strips.
Step 6
All prepared ingredients, except bell pepper, mix in a salad bowl, squeeze out the juice of half a lime, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly, and then put on a plate in which the salad will be served, garnish with sour cream, bell pepper and a slice of lime.
