Grace Salad

Such a salad can easily replace a light dinner or become an ornament at any celebration. It's not difficult to cook it, that's what you need:

1. Rinse the chicken fillet well under cold water. Then put it in a small saucepan and pour clean drinking water. Put the pan with the meat on the stove and bring to a boil. After that, add salt to taste, add bay leaf and reduce the heat. Boil the chicken fillet until cooked over low heat for about 20-25 minutes from the moment the water boils. Then get the meat, cool and cut into small pieces.

2. Cut white bread or loaf into cubes. It is advisable to take stale bread - so it will be easier to cut it. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and heat it. As soon as the butter is hot enough, throw bread cubes into it. Over medium heat, stirring occasionally, evenly fry the pieces of bread until a beautiful golden crust. Sprinkle the resulting crackers with garlic powder on top.

3. Rinse the bell pepper. Cut off the stalk and peel off the inner seeds. Cut the pepper pulp into cubes.

4. Tomatoes should also be washed and dried. And then cut into small pieces. Drain the resulting juice, as it can make the salad too liquid.

5. Wash cucumbers and cut into cubes.

6. Cut the ham into squares.

7. In a large container, to make it easier to mix the salad, pour all the chopped products - boiled chicken fillet, bell pepper, tomatoes and cucumbers, ham. Open a jar of canned corn, drain the liquid from it and add it to the container with the rest of the products.

8. Season the salad with mayonnaise and gently mix all the ingredients. Taste the salad and add salt on your own.

9. Before serving, sprinkle the salad with pre-prepared white bread crackers. It should be taken into account the fact that if you put the crackers right away, they will get wet and will have a soft consistency.

Bon appetit!
