The variety of delicious and beautiful salads is endless. If you are looking for a recipe for a quick-to-prepare, tasty and satisfying salad, then you should like this recipe. The salad consists of ingredients such as smoked chicken fillet, hard cheese, pineapple and eggs. If you have all the ingredients in the refrigerator, this salad can be prepared in just 20 to 30 minutes. And this circumstance is very pleasing when cooking time is limited.
Salad with chicken, cheese and pineapples can be prepared for either a simple dinner or a simple dinner. The recipe for this salad suggests adding finely chopped garlic. This gives the salad a bright taste and aroma. But those who do not really like dishes with garlic may not add it. Without garlic, the salad will taste light and tender.
Ingredients:
- smoked chicken fillet – 1 pc.;
- eggs – 2 pcs.;
- hard cheese - 200 gr.;
- canned pineapples – 500 gr. (1 jar);
- mayonnaise - for dressing;
- garlic - 2 cloves.
Cooking time: 20 - 30 minutes.
How to cook with photos step by step
The first thing you need to do to prepare a salad with smoked chicken and cheese is boil the eggs. They must be hard-boiled. Cool them and then peel them. Cut into large pieces. 
Also cut the chicken fillet into small pieces. 
Drain the syrup from the pineapples. If you have pineapples in the form of rings, then cut them into pieces. And if they are already chopped, then just leave them aside for now. 
Hard cheese for salad with smoked chicken and pineapples must also be cut into pieces. 
Peel the garlic cloves and chop finely. Garlic can also be squeezed through a press. 
Combine all prepared ingredients in one container. Add garlic and mayonnaise to them (best
Of course, this is a festive dish. Firstly, it is not budget-friendly - the salad requires smoked chicken breast, pineapples, mushrooms, and good cheese. All this is not a cheap pleasure in these times. And secondly, it will take almost an hour of your precious time to prepare it. However, the result is worth it.
If you love layered salads, then this might become your favorite. At least for me, this is definitely one of my favorites - it gives you the opportunity to experience a whole range of wonderful tastes - either smoked chicken with fried mushrooms, or chicken with juicy sweet pineapples. I highly recommend it and, as always, attach step-by-step photos.
A few words about the ingredients
Usually puff salads are generously smeared with mayonnaise. The advantage of this dish is that mayonnaise is needed here in minimal quantities, since some layers do not need to be coated at all - for example, a layer of fried mushrooms does not need to be coated with mayonnaise at all, a layer with pineapple needs to be coated with a minimum, or even does not need to be coated with mayonnaise at all . The chicken layer is also spread with a thin layer, as it comes after the juicy fried mushrooms.
Ingredients:
smoked chicken breast400 g
fresh champignons 400 g
onion 1 pc.
canned pineapple 1 can
eggs 4 pcs.
cheese200 g
mayonnaise 4 tbsp. l.
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying
Number of servings: 8 Cooking time: 60 minutes
Recipe
Step 1: Boil the eggs
Cook the eggs for 10 minutes. Then cool, peel and grate on a coarse grater.
Step 2: Fry the onions
Cut the onion into half rings. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, fry the onion until translucent and golden brown.
Step 3: Chop the mushrooms and add to the onions
I used champignons. I washed the mushrooms and cut them into thin slices. If the mushrooms are dirty, it is better to clean them. In general, you can simply rinse the champignons without removing the film from the cap. Add the mushrooms to the onion and fry over medium heat until golden brown. Salt and pepper. The layer of mushrooms plays a very important role in this salad, so it is important to fry them correctly so that neither the mushrooms nor the onions burn, but simmer until golden brown. As soon as the mushrooms are fried, transfer them from the pan to a separate bowl. At the same time, try to leave as much oil in the pan as possible. 
Step 4: Cutting the Pineapples
The salad is layered, so the pineapples need to be cut into small pieces. To prevent precious juice from leaking out, take the sharpest knife. It is more convenient to chop pineapples with washers (rings), so I recommend using them.
Step 5: Cutting the smoked breast
I had half a smoked chicken breast. It needs to be cut into small cubes. Smoked chicken breast is cut very conveniently - you can cut an even layer from a whole piece, then cut it into strips, then into cubes.
Step 6: Trem Cheese
Cheese is the top layer of the salad, which also serves as its decoration. Therefore, you need to grate the cheese on a fine grater. Please note that not every cheese grates well. For example, don’t take Gouda, grating Gouda on a fine grater is just torture, it sticks to the grater and clogs the holes. Choose your cheese for salads empirically, and in this matter it is better to avoid risks and surprises.
Step 7: Place the mushrooms
We begin to form the salad. This salad has many colorful layers, so I recommend making it either in a removable form or in a deep, clear bowl so that all the layers are visible. Of course, the most ideal option is a portioned form for preparing puff salads. If you, like me, love to surprise guests, I advise you to buy such a uniform. At first glance, it seems that such a display is accessible only to the gods of cooking, but everything is much simpler. Even my first grader made a salad the first time.
So, put the mushrooms in the first layer. We DO NOT lubricate this layer with mayonnaise; it is quite juicy on its own.
Step 8: Add a layer of smoked breast
Breast with mushrooms is a wonderful combination and complete harmony of flavors. If you are making a salad in a mold, each layer must be compacted tightly. Without fanaticism, of course, but tightly, so that later you get an even turret. Lightly coat the chicken with mayonnaise. If you have a portion mold, then literally 1 teaspoon is enough.
Step 9: Pineapple Layer
Step 12: Remove the form
The final stage - remove the form and admire your creation! At the same time, I made the salad in two forms - in a small portion for the site and in a large form in the shape of a flower (for a feast). This is how beautiful it turned out. The salad should sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and that’s it – you can surprise your guests and delight your family.
And this is an option in a large curly shape

Usually, we prepare salads for the holidays that everyone loves: Olivier, with crab sticks, Bride, Mimosa, with squid. Men love them very much because of their nutritious and rich taste.
But we women sometimes want to eat something more tender than pickled onions or pickled cucumbers.

This salad looks very beautiful in a transparent salad bowl or on a flat plate. To see the layers, you can use any round shape, some make it from cardboard, others use a biscuit ring if it is small.
For the salad we use chicken fillet or breast, but you can take any well-boiled chicken meat, cut off the drumsticks, for example. The meat just needs to be cut and chewed well.
Remember that for salads we cook any meat in hot water so that the protein curls and all the meat juice remains inside and does not go into the broth, but if we cook soups, then on the contrary, we begin to cook the meat in cold water, gradually bringing it to a boil so that the meat juice goes into the broth.

Salad with pineapples, chicken, cheese and egg layers
Various additives add piquancy to the salad, for example, walnuts themselves are healthy, and in combination with the protein in cheese and chicken, they will generally make up for the lack of protein and microelements in the body.
