Try cooking it again
Ingredients for salad per serving:
- chicken breast without skin – 300 gr.;
- cherry tomatoes 6-7 pcs.;
- 1 boiled chicken egg;
- 1 red salad onion;
- 1 red bell pepper with a stable bottom;
- dressing (mayonnaise, sour cream, unsweetened yogurt) 1 tbsp. spoon;
- Tabasco sauce to taste;
- a sprig of mint for decoration.
Step-by-step recipe with photos:
To prepare our spicy salad, you need to boil the chicken breast for an hour in salted water with spices, cool and cut into cubes. 
Cut the peeled onion into thin half rings. It is better to take shallots, as their taste is lighter and more delicate compared to regular onions. 
Cut the chicken egg into pieces. 
Prepare red bell pepper. To do this, cut off the top and remove the insides. Do not remove the stalk.
Remove the stem from the cherry tomatoes and cut them into halves. You can use regular tomatoes with dense flesh, but the appearance of the salad will not be as impressive.
Place all prepared ingredients on a dressing plate, add mayonnaise (sour cream, yogurt) and a few drops of Tabasco sauce.
Be careful as it is very sharp. Don't forget to set aside a few cherry tomato halves to garnish our Spicy Chicken Salad.
Mix the spicy salad and place in the prepared bell pepper. Place the lid on top and decorate with a piece of mint. Place the peppers on a plate and place the cherry tomato halves on the sides. Drizzle the plate with a few drops of Tabasco sauce.
As we can see, the spicy salad with chicken breast and cherry tomatoes looks excellent.
Fans of Mexican cuisine will love our salad with chicken breast and tomatoes. For those who don’t like it spicy, you don’t have to add Tabasco sauce, and if you don’t have it, replace it with adjika.

This snack is probably considered the most popular, because it can be found not only in restaurants, but also in any fast food cafe. Caesar salad with cherry tomatoes and chicken, which we will prepare today, is a real gourmet masterpiece, although it consists of simple ingredients. Fried golden chicken, juicy cherry tomatoes, crispy white croutons, tender cheese and, of course, the signature awesome sauce - that’s the whole secret!
Why chicken is the main component of Caesar salad
While there are variations to this gourmet shrimp salad, chicken is the more popular base for the appetizer.
This is explained simply: poultry in any form (fried, boiled, grilled or steamed) goes well with almost all vegetables and types of cheese.
And if a special dressing with a delicate, slightly sour taste comes into play, then the main ingredients only benefit from this.
The most important thing is to make your own croutons from white bread. Some, in order to save time, simply buy store-bought white croutons and add them to the salad, but this changes the taste of the dish for the worse.
So let's move from words to action and finally prepare a real homemade Caesar, and do it no worse than in the best restaurants!

Step-by-step Caesar recipe with cherry tomatoes and chicken
The main rule is to take your time! If we approach our salad with soul and slowly prepare each component of the dish, then the result will be simply amazing.
You can be sure that after you try it, you simply won’t want to experiment with other snack options. So, let's go!
Making signature homemade croutons
- To do this, we cut off the crust from the loaf, and cut the pulp into small cubes, the size of standard crackers. Place the pieces of bread on a baking sheet, sprinkle them with olive oil, add a little salt, and then bake in the oven at 160-170 degrees until golden brown.
This will take us no more than 15 minutes if we preheat the oven. But a lot also depends on the staleness and composition of the loaf, as well as on the power of the oven, so don’t forget to watch the crackers so that they don’t burn.
Preparing chicken for salad
- We rub the fillet with salt and ground pepper, and then fry in a frying pan in heated vegetable oil over high heat until a characteristic crust appears on the poultry meat.
Some people prefer to cut the chicken into pieces and then fry it, but in our recipe we fry the whole fillet and cut it into pieces after. You can do what is more convenient for you.
- When the chicken has cooled, cut it into medium slices or cubes - whichever you prefer.
Making a spicy dressing for your favorite Caesar
- To do this, we take a ladle of water, place it on the stove, wait until the water boils, and throw chicken eggs into it for exactly one minute, after which we immediately lower them into cold water.
- Pour the peeled eggs into a bowl, separately grind the chopped garlic with ground black pepper and salt, then add the garlic to the eggs.
- Add mustard, olive oil and squeeze the juice from half a lemon. If there are bones, we remove them, of course. Now whisk all the ingredients well until a homogeneous mass of a beautiful light yellow color is obtained.
Assembling our Caesar on a plate
- We tear the washed lettuce leaves with our hands, cut the cherry tomatoes in half or into four parts if they are large.
- In a salad bowl, carefully mix vegetables with fried chicken and croutons.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and hurry to serve, because you want to eat such beauty right away!
Caesar salad with smoked chicken, egg and mayonnaise

How to make Caesar with chicken, mayonnaise and tomatoes at home
- First we'll make the crackers. To do this, we will cut the loaf into small cubes, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry these pieces of bread in it until golden brown.
- When the bun begins to brown, squeeze the garlic and chopped dill into the pan, mix well - this way our croutons will be saturated with the aromas of garlic and herbs and will become more tasty.
