  • 400 g fresh mushrooms (champignon)

Process:

Preparation:

  • boil the chicken breasts and cool them,
    how to boil the chicken breast: put the chicken in one layer into the bottom of the pot and add some salt (you may also add garlic, pepper, other species); fill it with water and bring it to a boil; reduce heat to minimum, cover the pan; after 10 minutes the delicate chicken breast will be ready, but the thick one will need about 15 minutes to be ready;
  • boil eggs and cool them,
    how to boil the eggs: place eggs into a large saucepan and cover them with cool water by 3 cm; bring water to a boil over medium heat; boil it for no more than 10 minutes or the yolk will become grey (that will ruin your presentation); put the cooked eggs into the pot with the cold water;
  • wash, cut, fry the mushrooms and cool them,
    how to fry the mushrooms: cut mushrooms and put them on the frying pan, turn on the heat to medium, add salt and mix everything, salt will help the moisture to release quicker; wait until all the moister evaporates; add the oil and fry the mushrooms until golden brown; add some pepper to taste;
