Green banana baskets filled with chicken salad

I love patacones, I always prepare them with salad, but this time we tried them with a different presentation, thanks to a quite simple recipe that a friend shared with me. I loved the experience and now I'm sharing it with you.

For the baskets:

Ingredients:

✓ 2 green bananas

✓ 1 cup of oil

Preparation

1. Cut each banana into six parts, peel them and put them to fry, with enough oil, for about 4 minutes.

1. The basket shape is given to them with a lemon squeezer. To prevent the banana from sticking to the squeezer, a previously oiled plastic is used between the two surfaces.

1. Now these baskets made from the green banana are fried.

And that's how simple this base is made, to which you can put the filling of your choice. This time I put a chicken salad, quite basic.

Basic chicken salad

Ingredients:

✓ 2 potatoes

✓ 1 carrot

✓ 1/4 breast

✓ Mayonnaise, salt and parsley to taste

Preparation

1. Boil on one side the potato and carrot, and on the other the chicken breast, both with salt to taste.

2. Now cut the potato and carrot into small squares, and crumble the chicken.

3. Mix the potato, carrot and chicken together.

4. Dress the salad with mayonnaise and add chopped parsley.

This way, the salad is ready to fill the baskets.

Now all that remains is to fill the baskets, decorate them with a little parsley and enjoy this culinary treat.

I enjoyed every bite and now I feel like making them again, with a different filling each time; and with my husband's help in the kitchen, it's easy work 😉.
