    Add salt and pepper

  6. 06 / To serve

Wine pairing

Pair the chicken salad with a still, dry, and light white wine, such as Chardonnay or a classic Verdicchio.

You can prepare the chicken the day before, leaving it in the cooking broth to keep it from drying out. Be sure to remove the vegetables, which would make the broth acidic.

Do not choose vegetables or pickles at random: The simplicity of this recipe requires a balance between the elements that compose it!

Do not undercook the chicken: Let it cook until it is very soft and the meat is almost falling off the bone.

Try to dress only the amount of salad you plan to eat; the vegetables lose their crunchiness once dressed.

You can keep the chicken in the refrigerator for a couple of days or use it for mondeghili meatballs.

You can depart from tradition and prepare Lombard-style chicken salad with other meats, like leftover veal roast.

You can add other vegetables according to your preference, considering what is in season and what maintains the balance of flavours. Radishes, fennel, or even peppers, if you like more a more intense flavour, work well.

You can also add other pickled vegetables like onions or whatever else you like, as long as you are careful not to let one ingredient overpower the others.
