The step-by-step instruction looks like this:
Cook the chicken fillet.
Cooking chicken is not at all difficult - dip the breast without film and bones in boiling water and cook for 20-30 minutes until tender. Add your favorite seasonings as desired.
Don't like boiled fillets? Cut it into thin pieces and fry in a dry skillet or grill. You can also bake in the oven.
Prepare mushrooms.
Rinse the mushrooms in cold water, drain in a colander and let the water drain. Then cut the mushrooms into slices and the onions into cubes or strips.
First, sweat the mushrooms in a dry frying pan - water and excess liquid will evaporate from them. As soon as the process stops, add vegetable and butter to the products.
Fry the mushrooms until golden brown, then add the onions and keep the dish on fire for a little more.
Then put the mushrooms and onions into a bowl, keeping out the excess oil from the pan.

Broccoli salad: recipe, ingredients
Broccoli, the recipes of which are little known, is an extremely healthy vegetable, as it contains a lot of vitamins and fiber. All healthy people can eat such cabbage, and since it is hypoallergenic, it is used to start feeding babies with it. Regular consumption of broccoli saturates the body with calcium, reduces the risk of heart attacks, strengthens the nervous system and normalizes blood sugar levels.
To make broccoli less boring, make a delicious salad with it. To do this, take the ingredients:
- broccoli cabbage (fresh or frozen) - 300 g;
- chicken fillet - 200 g;
- champignon mushrooms - 400 g;
- pickled cucumbers (preferably gherkins) - 100 g;
- onion;
- vegetable and butter - 50 g each
For the salad, use the original dressing - for it, take 100 g of mayonnaise and mix it with 20 g of curry. This will make a delicious, spicy sauce.
If you don't use mayonnaise, we suggest the following alternative dressings:
- sour cream with garlic;
- sour cream with curry;
- natural white yogurt with mustard or curry;
- a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, mustard and lemon juice.
Any of these dressings will emphasize the unusualness of the broccoli salad, while the taste of the dish changes every time.
When you're done experimenting with sauces, start combining foods. Hard cheese, feta, corn or tomatoes go well with broccoli, chicken and mushrooms. You can substitute the smoked version for boiled chicken.
If you don't like champignons, take any other mushrooms. Also try adding pickled foods to your salad.
Wondering how to cook broccoli? To make the salad tasty, do not overcook the cabbage, otherwise it will be tasteless and turn into porridge. Cook a fresh vegetable for no more than 5 minutes, and for a frozen product, 10 minutes is enough.
If you want to maximize the benefits of broccoli, steam the cabbage.
