Festive chicken salad with prunes and walnuts
I can’t say that the salad is quite new, but it has not lost its relevance. It is called differently in different places. Some will know it as “Ladies' Caprice”, some as “Marseille”, but no matter what it is called, the taste does not change.
Ingredients:
- chicken fillet 500-600 gr.
- hard cheese 200 gr.
- prunes 100 gr.
- Korean carrots 350 gr.
- walnut grains 50 gr.
- eggs 6 pcs.
- mayonnaise
- garlic, salt and pepper to taste
Cooking process:
Since we need the meat boiled, we’ll start by putting the breast on to boil. Next, take the prunes, rinse them and soak them in warm water for 20-30 minutes. Also set the eggs to boil. After the prunes are well soaked in water, cut them into small squares. Separate the boiled meat into fibers and chop the eggs. Cut the yolks separately from the whites.
The walnut grains will need to be lightly dried in a dry frying pan or in the oven, then chopped and mixed with Korean carrots.
Next, you can start assembling the salad. We lay the layers in the following sequence.
- prunes
- chicken meat
- carrots with nuts
- grated cheese
- egg whites
- egg yolks
Be sure to grease each layer with mayonnaise. After adding protein, the salad needs to be coated with mayonnaise not only on top, but also on the sides. This is necessary so that the yolks stick well to the sides. Afterwards, you need to put this masterpiece in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so that the layers are well saturated.
Before serving, you can garnish with parsley or dill leaves. How do you like this design option for this salad?
Hot chicken appetizers for the holiday table
Hot chicken appetizers for the holiday table must be served almost immediately after preparation - and therefore most of these recipes are extremely simple and require very little time. Spicy chicken “sticks” snacks turn out to be very tasty - such an appetizer will always be in great demand, regardless of the occasion. And the “Kamyshi” appetizer made from chicken fillet with cheese and herbs is not only tasty, but also original - really similar to reeds. It will take a little more time to cook miniature chicken “skewers” in bacon in the oven, but the result will be worth it - thanks to the delicate cherry-mint sauce with hints of lime, the finished dish turns out to be deliciously piquant in taste.
As a kind of “buffet” snack, you can make miniature chicken “fingers” from tender chicken fillet - rolls with cheese filling, or original snack “muffins” - they look almost like real muffins, only they are made from minced chicken with vegetables. And one of the least labor-intensive options for a hot appetizer with chicken is stuffed tomatoes baked in the oven (you can stuff them with fried fillet pieces and croutons from a couple of pieces of wheat bread).

Prepare a whole chicken according to this recipe for New Year, Christmas, Birthday or any other holiday table.
Ingredients:
Spices: 2 teaspoons chicken seasoning, 1 teaspoon Provençal herbs, 1 teaspoon salt.
Preparing the recipe - Chicken in the oven
Wipe the chicken with a paper towel to remove moisture. Take a small container, pour in the spices and fill with sunflower oil. Stir until smooth.
We make cuts in the chicken with a knife and stick the entire garlic cloves into the depths of the carcass.
We also make cuts in the legs and stuff them with garlic.
Rub the prepared mixture all over the chicken with your hands.
Rub the belly inside the carcass with the mixture too.
There is no need to peel the apples, just remove the seeds and cut into small pieces. It will be good if the apples have a sour taste. Fill the chicken belly with apples and prunes.
We take wooden toothpicks and use them to close the hole in the belly.
The legs need to be tied with a silicone rope or just threads. Leave the chicken in this form for 30 minutes so that it marinates well.
Take a deep baking tray, pour boiling water into it, put a wire rack and place the chicken on it. Place in a preheated oven at 190 degrees C for 1 hour. At the same time, you need to monitor the presence of water in the pan and if there is none, then you need to add it.
Remove the chicken from the oven and remove the toothpicks.
Place the carcass with a golden brown crust on a plate and decorate. The chicken is ready.
