Sunflower Salad
- 2 chicken legs, skin removed
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, minced
- 3 1/2 cups minced mushrooms
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, yolks and whites separated and grated
- 1 1/4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 (4.25 ounce) can pitted black olives, drained
- 1 (8 ounce) bag potato chips
- Place chicken legs into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until no longer pink at the bone, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool. Shred chicken meat and season with salt.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Mix mayonnaise and garlic together in a bowl. Mix 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise with the chicken.
- Spread chicken-mayonnaise mixture in the shape of a disk on a serving plate. Cover with onion-mushroom mixture and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Add grated egg whites and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top; cover with remaining mayonnaise. Sprinkle grated egg yolks evenly over the top.
- Cut olives into 4 wedges each and place on top to resemble sunflower seeds. Refrigerate salad for 2 hours.
- Place potato chips around the salad to resemble sunflower petals.
