New Year's salad with tangerines
Description
Minimal effort — excellent result. For this recipe, I boiled the chicken breast, but any cooking method will work except frying, as fried meat combined with mandarins would be too heavy. I'd like to share with you how to boil chicken breast so that it doesn't turn out dry. To cook the meat, pour water into a small pot, add a couple of pinches of salt, and bring to a boil. You can add your favorite spices—I usually don't. Place the meat into the boiling water, cook for 25–30 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool down in the broth. This way, the meat turns out soft and juicy, as much as possible. Check out this New Year's salad recipe with mandarins, give it a try. You can serve it immediately.
