BRAZILIAN CHICKEN SALAD AKA SALPICAO ESPECIAL DE GALINHA



Brazilian Chicken Salad Aka Salpicao Especial De Galinha image

Similar to Maionese, or Brazilian Potato Salad, this is another favorite dish of mine from Brazil, my husband's home country. My favorite version was served to me 10 years ago at an authentic Brazilian restaurant in Southboro, Massachusetts called Ipanema. I rushed home and came up with this and I think its pretty darn close! This is a newly adopted recipe. I will be trying it soon. :)

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, poached, cooled and pulled into small shreds, not cubed
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1 cup frozen corn kernels, defrosted
1 cup carrot, cooked, cooled and diced (frozen is OK, too)
1 apple, peeled, cored and diced small (Gala or Fuji)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup seedless raisin
1/2 cup sliced stuffed green olive
2 cups shoestring potatoes
salt and pepper (sometimes I use Lawry's salt)

Steps:

  • Toss chicken, vegetables, apple, raisins and olives in serving bowl.
  • Add mayonnaise, combine, then gently salt and pepper to taste, remembering that your next step is to fold in the shoestring potatoes and you don't want it to be too salty--if you are serving later, I recommend that you add the shoestring potatoes right before you serve.
  • Garnish with green olives and a few shoestring potatoes scattered on top.
  • Prep time listed below assumes your ingredients are cooked, cooled and ready to mix--servings yielded depends on how hungry you are; 8 is a good guess.

SALPICAO



Salpicao image

Our Salpicao is a mild, crunchy Brazilian chicken salad that makes for a nice addition to a buffet; it could also be served on its own for lunch or a light supper.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 onions, 1 chopped and 2 thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 whole chicken breasts
Paprika
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 Idaho potatoes, peeled and held in cold water
2 pounds carrots, peeled, grated, and blanched
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed, very thinly sliced on an angle, and blanched
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • In a small stockpot, cook chopped onion, garlic, and half the parsley in oil until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Rub chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper and add to pot. Brown chicken on all sides. Add water to cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook until meat is almost falling from bones, about 1 hour. Remove chicken from cooking liquid and set aside to cool. Strain cooking liquid and moisten chicken with a little of it. Discard remainder, or set aside for later use. (Chicken can be prepared a day ahead of time.)
  • In a large, deep, heavy frying pan, heat at least 3 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees. Remove 1 potato from water and grate lengthwise on the largest holes of a hand grater, pressing hard to get longest shreds possible. Sprinkle carefully and evenly into the hot oil, covering entire surface of oil. Do not stir. When brown around edges, turn as you would a pancake. Cook until deep golden brown, lifting up edge of pancake to check color. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When cool, crumble pancake with hands and set aside. Repeat with remaining potatoes, grating and frying 1 potato at a time.
  • When chicken has cooled, remove meat from bones and discard skin and bones. Shred chicken into long, thin pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine carrots, sliced onions, green beans, shredded chicken, fried potatoes, remaining parsley, and mayonnaise. Toss well to combine, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve within 1 hour.

SALPICAO SALAD



Salpicao Salad image

This delightful Brazilian salad features shredded chicken and crispy fried potatoes. You can prepare the chicken a day in advance, but the fried potatoes should be added just before serving so that they stay crisp.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 whole chicken breasts
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 scallions, white and light-green parts only, chopped
1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 pounds carrots
5 pounds white potatoes
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup Homemade Mayonnaise, or prepared

Steps:

  • Peel and mince 1 onion, and set aside.
  • In a large, heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts; brown on each side for 10 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1 minute. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, reserved minced onion, and paprika. Saute until onion becomes soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add parsley and scallions; simmer until softened, about 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a large bowl to cool. Strain cooking liquid; pour over chicken. Working over the bowl, remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Using your fingers, shred meat. Cover, and chill 30 minutes.
  • Cut beans into 1/4-inch-long pieces. Place in a bowl; set aside. Wash, peel, and grate carrots. Place in another bowl; set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch cut beans until just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove beans from water using a slotted spoon. Place in bowl of ice water to cool. Remove from water, and set aside. Return salted water to a boil. Blanch carrots, until just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl of ice water to chill. Drain carrots, and set aside. Slice remaining onion into thin rounds. Place in a third bowl; cover, and set aside.
  • Wash and peel potatoes. Place in a large bowl; cover with cold water. Set aside.
  • Cover bottom of a medium stockpot with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat oil until a frying thermometer registers 375 degrees.Grate a potato over a towel, pat dry, and immediately place in hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove potato from oil, and transfer to a large paper-towel-covered surface; drain. Repeat with remaining potatoes, adding vegetable oil if necessary.
  • In a large serving bowl, toss all reserved ingredients with mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better quality the ingredients, the tastier your Salpicao will be. Choose ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, tender chicken, and a flavorful mayonnaise.
  • Shred the chicken into small pieces: This will help the chicken evenly distribute throughout the salad and make it easier to eat.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help bring out the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to lettuce and tomatoes. Add other vegetables like diced carrots, celery, or cucumber for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of mayonnaise goes a long way. Too much mayonnaise can make the salad soggy and bland.
  • Serve immediately: Salpicao is best served immediately after it's made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together and the salad will lose its freshness.

Conclusion:

Salpicao is a delicious and refreshing chicken salad sandwich that's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, Salpicao is a must-try for any chicken salad lover. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give Salpicao a try. You won't be disappointed!
