Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Frying pan
  • Salad bowl
  • Chopping board

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut chicken breast into bite-sized strips, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Tip: Cut meat across the grain so it's more tender and easier to chew after frying.
2 ✓

Heat a little oil in a pan and fry chicken until golden brown (approx. 6-8 minutes). Set aside to cool.

Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan, because then the meat steams in its own juice instead of frying (Maillard reaction fails).
3 ✓

Tear the lettuce, dice the cucumber and tomato, slice the onion thinly.

Tip: Torn lettuce leaves stay fresh longer than knife-cut ones because cells are less damaged along the tear.
4 ✓

Prepare dressing: mix lemon juice, olive oil, a little salt, and pepper (emulsion).

Tip: Thorough mixing of oil and acid (lemon) creates a thicker, creamier dressing that clings better to vegetables.
5 ✓

Before serving, toss vegetables with lukewarm meat and drizzle with dressing.

Tip: Salt draws water from vegetables (osmosis), so only season at the end!

Recipe FAQ

What makes the chicken dry?
If you cook it too long. Sliced meat needs only a few minutes on high heat.
Can I mix it in advance?
Vegetables and meat yes, but add dressing (and salt) only immediately before serving, otherwise the salad will wilt.
