Ingredients

• 400g of shredded chicken breast;
• 50g of chopped onion;
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice;
• 80g of grated carrots;
• 50g of chopped celery; 
• 60g of green apple, chopped into cubes;
• 60g of black raisins;
• 100g mayonnaise; 
• 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley; 
• Salt to taste;
• Black pepper to taste; 

For the basket

• 2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese;
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter;
• Chopped parsley to taste to finish.

Preparation Method

1. Defrost the Seara Shredded Chicken Breast
   To ensure that the shredded chicken breast has the ideal texture, start by defrosting the Seara Shredded Chicken Breast according to the instructions on the packaging.
2. Prepare the seasonings and vegetables
   In a large bowl, add the onion, the celery, the lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Mix the ingredients well and let them soak for about 10 minutes. This helps to release the flavor of the seasonings and to soften the taste of the onion and celery.
3. Mix the chicken
   Put the Seara Shredded Chicken Breast in the bowl with the onion and celery and mix well. This step ensures that the chicken absorbs all the seasonings, making the salpicão more flavorful.
4. Add remaining ingredients
   Then add the carrot, the green apple, to the raisins, the mayonnaise and the chopped parsley. Mix well, adjusting salt and pepper to taste. Ideally, all ingredients should be well incorporated, creating a homogeneous mixture.
5. Leave it in the fridge
   After preparing, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. The salpicão is even tastier when chilled and the flavors have time to blend.

Finishing: How to prepare the parmesan baskets

1. Prepare the bowls
   Turn 5 small round bowls upside down and grease the bottom with butter. This step is important to ensure that the Parmesan baskets do not stick to the bowls during the molding process.
2. Melt the parmesan cheese
   In a frying pan or pancake pan approximately 20 cm in diameter and cold, add a thin layer of grated parmesan cheese. Place the pan over low heat and let the cheese melt slightly, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. The cheese should be melted but not yet too golden.
3. Shape the parmesan baskets
   Turn off the heat and carefully transfer the still-hot cheese disc to the bottom of the greased bowls. Gently press the cheese against the bowl so that it forms a perfect basket shape. Let it cool completely so that the Parmesan baskets become crispy and firm.
4. Finish the dish
   When the baskets are cool and unmolded, add a generous portion of salpicão to each basket. Finish with a touch of parsley chopped and serve immediately. This flavor combination will delight everyone!

This recipe of Parmesan Salad in a Basket It is ideal for serving at events, lunches or even as a snack. The crunchiness of the parmesan cheese and the freshness of the salpicão make this combination irresistible!
