Chicken Spinach Salad (Sałatka z Kurczakiem i Szpinakiem)

Spinach Chicken Salad with Spicy Italian Dressing

This refreshing salad with spinach and chicken has been a delicious result 
of using the leftover homemade chicken nuggets and our new favorite spicy Italian dressing.
One thing I like about this salad is that it combines so many nutrients in just one bowl
of crisp and zesty goodness.
The proteins in the chicken really make this salad a filling meal, 
whereas the greens and nuts deliver all those vitamins and minerals our body needs.
This does not happen often - I had this salad for two meals a day 
for at least two days in a row!
This is how tasty and addicting it is!



Chicken Spinach Salad:
chicken nuggets (see recipe above)
spinach leaves
cucumbers
red onion
roasted pine nuts
shredded cheddar cheese
spicy Italian dressing (see recipe above)


In a bowl, combine washed spinach leaves,
thinly sliced cucumbers 
(I keep the skin on, use mandolin slicer).
thinly sliced onion,
shredded cheddar cheese,
and top with some pine nuts.
Use dressing as desired.

*the amount of ingredients to your own taste

Enjoy!

Chicken Patties (Kotleciki z Kurczakiem, Pieczarkami i Serem)

Not Your Usual Chicken

This is a very good alternative to fried chicken.
 We rarely eat fried food but this recipe is definitely worth making an exception.
My Mom has a great way to make these moist, juicy and simply delicious chicken patties. 

Chicken, Mushroom & Cheese Patties:

3 chicken breasts
2 lbs /1kg (one big pack) of mushrooms
1 lbs/500g (1 pack) of shredded cheese (I used mozzarella and cheddar mix)
6 eggs
4 tbsp of potato starch
4 tbsp of plain bread crumbs
salt
pepper
granulated garlic
vegetable oil



Start by washing and cutting chicken into small cubes.
Wash and grate the mushrooms.
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Season to your taste, you may use additional herbs and spices.
Preheat the pan using vegetable oil .
Using a spatula, form little patties and place them on a hot pan.
Patties should be frying in a relatively deep oil.
Fry for a  couple of minutes until brown.


 Turn the patties over for even browning.


Remove from pan and place on a paper towel sheet
 (the grease will soak right in).
Fry the patties until your batch is gone.


Best if served hot, excellent when cooled.


Serving idea: with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut salad.
Enjoy!
