Boil the chicken fillet, cut into small cubes, and arrange on a serving platter. Boil the carrots and eggs as well.

Spread mayonnaise over the chicken layer.
Step 3:
Dice the marinated mushrooms and arrange them as the next layer. Spread with mayonnaise.
Step 4:
Grate the boiled carrots coarsely and add them as the next layer. Spread with mayonnaise.
Step 5:
The next layer is grated hard-boiled eggs, smoothed out and greased with mayonnaise.
Step 6:
As the final layer, grate hard cheese on a fine grater and distribute it evenly over the surface of the salad.
Step 7:
Decorate the salad with chips around the salad.
Step 8:
Cut the olives in half lengthwise and arrange them in circles over the surface of the salad, like sunflower seeds.
Cooking tips
Boil the chicken breast for half an hour in salted water with bay leaf and peppercorns. To make the mayonnaise layer less thick and easier to spread, you can apply it in a lattice pattern first. Any hard cheese you like will work well for this salad. Pringles are best for this salad – they're uniform in shape and not too crispy.
