Chicken salad is a recipe that was prepared very frequently in Cuba. It is a fresh, filling, and highly appreciated dish to which various ingredients can be added depending on what you have on hand.

Method

Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into cubes and boil in salted water, taking care not to overcook them.
When ready, drain them and let them cool.
Boil the chicken in salted water with the bay leaf until the meat is tender. Remove it from the pot and reserve the broth for other preparations.
Shred the chicken, discard the bones, and set aside the meat.
In another pot, boil the eggs for 10 to 15 minutes. Let them cool, peel them, and cut them as desired.
Chop the olives into thin rounds and cut the roasted pepper into thin strips.
In a large bowl, mix everything you have prepared: start with the potatoes, then the chicken meat, the onion, the eggs, some of the peppers, and the olives.
Finally, add the mayonnaise and, if desired, a tablespoon of mustard. Mix carefully so that the potatoes do not break apart.
When everything is combined, taste for salt and add pepper if you like.
Cover well and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Decorate with strips of roasted sweet pepper, olives, or other ingredients to your taste. Enjoy!
