Steps for the Chicken Salad

To make this delicious chicken salad, you need to prepare the yogurt sauce in advance. In a bowl, pour all the ingredients and mix with a spoon or whisk. You will get a smooth and homogeneous cream, taste to adjust the mustard if needed, depending on your personal taste, for a more intense flavor you can add more mustard. Then put it in the fridge.
Before cooking the chicken, you need to prepare the confit-style tomatoes in a pan, in this case, the yellow cherry tomatoes, but you can use them raw if you prefer. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan and arrange the tomatoes, then season with sugar, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sugar starts to caramelize and the tomatoes become soft, without breaking apart. Turn off the heat and let cool. Then cook the chicken slices on a grill pan for a few minutes, once cooked, cut them into strips and let cool. Pour the chicken into a large bowl and salt it. In the meantime, peel and grate the carrots with a grater, add them to the chicken and add extra virgin olive oil and mix thoroughly. Also, add the now-cold tomatoes. Take the yogurt sauce from the fridge and add it to the mixture, mixing thoroughly. Finally, add Grana cheese flakes or grated strips and pitted green olives and mix. Taste and add salt if needed. Let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour and then serve.
Serve the chicken salad on a serving plate and enjoy. I hope you like my latest recipe, see you next time, friends.

STORAGE, TIPS, AND NOTES

The chicken salad can also be enriched with other vegetables like lettuce, grilled peppers, avocado, corn, celery, chickpeas, onion, or zucchini. In short, you can use anything you like. The yogurt and mustard sauce is a great light alternative to the famous mayonnaise. The salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
