Ingredients

2 chicken meat
1 lemon
2 tablespoons of mustard
6 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 pound of green bean
1 cup of basil
1/2 bunch of lettuce
4 sprigs of scallion
1 bunch of radish
1 cup of pickled peppers
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions

Boil the chickens in a large pot with a little salt and boil for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Let it rest for 10 minutes after being boiled.
You can also cook the chicken in the oven. For this, preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked. Remove from the oven and let cool, then cut into small pieces.
Squeeze half a lemon into a separate bowl, add mustard and whisk. Slowly add oil and continue whisking. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
Add salted water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain the beans and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and dry with a paper towel.
Wash and cut the green onions, lettuce, basil into small pieces and put them on a plate.
Slice the radish and pickled peppers and mix them in a small bowl. Squeeze half a lemon.
Slice the rested chickens and place them next to the lettuce. Pour the radish mixture over it.
Add the beans. Pour the dressing over the salad and fold the ingredients to coat.
Serve with avocado and corn on the cob.
You can also serve the salad cold if you wish. Put all the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover it with cling film and leave the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to mix the flavors. After cooling, take the salad out of the refrigerator. Pour the sauce over and serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh and high quality ingredients.
Cook the chicken breast. Bake the chicken breast in the oven until well cooked and tender. This will keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
Boil the green beans. Steam or boil the green beans for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crispy before adding them to the salad. This will help preserve their bright green color and crispy texture.
You can add chopped red onion, sliced bell pepper, fresh herbs and ingredients like toasted almonds, cashews or dried cranberries to add extra flavor and texture to the salad.
For a green bean chicken salad, use a vinaigrette or a mayonnaise-based dressing.
Cool before serving. Let the salad cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to mingle.
Chicken salad with green beans is usually served cold. However, you can serve it hot if you wish.

How To Store Green Bean Chicken Salad?

How Long Does Green Bean Chicken Salad Last in the Refrigerator? This chicken salad can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days, depending on the freshness of the ingredients used. If you've added dressing to the salad, store it separately from the greens and chicken. This helps prevent the salad from getting wet. Add sauce before serving. If the salad seems dry, you can add some more dressing or olive oil before serving. Allow the green bean chicken salad to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving, then serve cold.

Can Green Bean Chicken Salad Be Frozen? It is not recommended to freeze the chicken salad with green beans. Freezing can cause the salad to become watery and lose its flavor and texture. Also, the mayonnaise or sauce used in the salad may decompose when thawed.

Can Green Bean Chicken Salad Be Made Ahead? Yes, you can make the green bean chicken salad ahead of time, but store the salad and dressing in separate containers. Add the sauce just before serving.
