Step 1:
How to make a Tender salad with chicken and cheese? Prepare the products. Boil the chicken breast, eggs and carrots in advance and cool. It is better to take cheese with a neutral taste, semi-soft or hard, natural, without vegetable additives.
Step 2:
To impregnate the layers, make a sauce: pass the peeled garlic cloves through a press and mix with mayonnaise, add salt, if desired, you can add ground black pepper. Keep in mind that mayonnaise already contains salt, do not over-salt.
Step 3:
Boil the chicken fillet. How to cook chicken fillet? Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, dip the meat into it. Add salt. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes at a low boil over low heat. Then remove the meat from the broth and cool. Cut the chilled chicken fillet into small pieces. In the selected salad bowl, put half of the chopped chicken fillet. Brush the chicken layer with a small amount of mayonnaise and garlic sauce.
Step 4:
Peel the chilled chicken eggs from the shell. Divide one or two eggs into yolks and whites, remove the yolks to the side to decorate the salad. Grate the eggs on a coarse grater. Put half of the grated eggs in the next layer after the chicken. Brush this layer with sauce.
Step 5:
How to boil carrots? Wash the root vegetables well, put them in a saucepan and pour clean cold water. Cook the carrots for 20-30 minutes after boiling over low heat, depending on the size. Peel the boiled cooled carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Put half of the grated carrots on top of the layer with eggs. Brush this layer with sauce.
Step 6:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Put the grated cheese in an even layer on top of the layer with carrots. Brush this layer with a small amount of sauce.
Step 7:
Repeat all the layers again — chicken, eggs, carrots, cheese, smearing each layer with a small amount of sauce. Brush the last layer liberally with sauce and garnish with egg yolks grated on a fine grater. In addition to the yolks, the salad can be decorated with fresh herbs.
Step 8:
Be sure to cool the salad before serving: the layers will be soaked with sauce, the salad will become juicier and there will be no pronounced vegetable taste in carrots. Then serve the salad to the table. Enjoy your meal!

The salad fully justifies its name: the delicate consistency of the ingredients, the absence of products with a bright specific taste. And thanks to the bright design (yolk on top and carrots in layers), this salad will be a wonderful decoration of the festive table.

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
