- A pinch of Black Pepper
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/3 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 100g of smoked whole chicken breast. Sear it in a preheated frying pan until golden brown on both sides, ensuring it’s slightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The subtle smoky aroma will enhance its deliciousness.
Step 2
Wash and prepare the fresh cabbage. Finely shred it or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Aim for about two generous handfuls to maintain the salad’s crisp texture. Place it in a bowl.
Step 3
Prepare some colorful carrot ‘rapé’ (finely shredded carrot). You can shred the carrots thinly and lightly sauté them, or use them raw. Add a suitable amount to the bowl with the cabbage.
Step 4
Measure out 3 tablespoons of smooth mayonnaise and place it in a separate bowl for the dressing. This will add a creamy richness to the salad.
Step 5
Add 1/3 tablespoon of flavorful whole grain mustard to the dressing bowl. The whole mustard seeds will provide a unique taste and texture to the salad.
Step 6
Add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors and a pinch of black pepper for a subtle kick. Adjust to your preference.
Step 7
Shred or slice the well-seared chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad bowl. Adding it while it’s still warm will help the flavors meld beautifully with the vegetables and dressing.
Step 8
Pour all the prepared dressing ingredients into the bowl with the chicken breast and vegetables. Gently toss everything together with a spoon or tongs until evenly coated. Then, artfully arrange the salad on a plate for a beautiful presentation.
Step 9
Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the salad to add a nutty, savory flavor. The more you sprinkle, the more delicious it becomes.
Step 10
Finally, lightly dust with dried parsley for a touch of herbaceous aroma and visual appeal. This adds a lovely finishing touch to the salad.
Step 11
Garnish with one fresh spearmint leaf to add a burst of freshness. It’s a refreshing final touch that instantly lifts the mood.
Step 12
Your refreshing, crisp, healthy, and satisfying Chicken Breast and Cabbage Salad is complete! It’s the perfect dish for a diet, a busy morning meal, or a weekend brunch. Enjoy this delicious and wholesome creation!
