Layered chicken salad

Description

A simple dish to prepare. For the salad, boil the potatoes, carrots, and eggs in advance. Cool them well so the salad can be eaten immediately after preparation. The salad will have three layers, one of which is immediately mixed with mayonnaise. You can dress the salad with either mayonnaise or a sauce. I make my sauce as follows: a couple of tablespoons of homemade mayonnaise, a couple of tablespoons of thick sour cream, salt, a bit of ground pepper, and sometimes I add a small garlic clove for a subtle garlic aroma. Don't be intimidated by the number of steps—it's actually very simple and quick. Just don't substitute the peas with canned ones, as this will immediately change the salad's taste. To keep the chicken breast juicy, fry it quickly but under a tightly closed lid. Serve chilled.
