Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Boil the chicken for at least 20 minutes, until fully cooked.
Dice the chicken.
Mix the chicken with the eggs, pickles, peas, boiled potatoes and boiled carrots.
Add dill (to taste) and thyme. Add salt and pepper.
Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and mustard only to the portion of salad that you will eat that same day. The salad will keep better without.
Serve chilled with a little dill, boiled eggs and tomatoes into thin slices to decorate. For a nice presentation, use a cookie cutter (like in the pictures).
