Lovers of smoked meats probably know what carpaccio is, but for the rest I will explain - these are thinly sliced pieces of meat, which are most often served with alcoholic drinks as an appetizer.
Ingredients for Chicken Carpaccio recipe
- Chicken fillet – 1 kg
- Salt - 5 tsp.
- Coriander (It is better to take it in grains and crush it, it is much more fragrant.) - 2 tsp.
- Allspice (It’s better to take 5 peas and crush them.) - 0.5 tsp.
- Black pepper - 1 tsp.
- Sweet paprika - 3 tsp.
I took 1 kg. or 3 medium chilled breasts, you can also use frozen ones (thaw them first) Wash, remove the films of fat, we only need clean meat. Cut each half of the breast lengthwise into two parts of approximately equal thickness. It turns out from one whole breast 4 long, not thick pieces. Dry each piece with a paper towel. I did this, wrapped a piece in a towel and pressed it lightly with my palm. |
In fact, you can put any spices you like, sunele hops, a mixture of peppers. I like this set better. Someone can add garlic too, that’s not bad either. I prefer to use whole grain spices whenever possible and grind them just before cooking. Which is what I advise you to do. Mix all the grains with salt and paprika. I advise you not to ignore paprika; it gives a wonderful color and a good hint of taste. |
Now roll each piece thoroughly in spices and salt, even pressing lightly. So that all the meat is covered with this mixture. It's already a beauty. |
Once all the pieces are rolled and placed evenly in the container, be sure to press them down with a weight. This will help displace excess moisture from the salt and salt it. Sets of containers are very convenient for this purpose, the large one contains meat, and the smaller one is filled with water and serves as a load. We put it all in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours. I usually do it at night, but the main thing is not to overdo it. This is not a fish on which the skin salts quickly. |
That's how much the chicken gave up in liquid. Now cut off a small piece, rinse and taste for salt, keep in mind that after drying the meat will be saltier. If the salts are normal, rinse the pieces directly under running cold water and dry each piece thoroughly with a paper towel, pressing with the palm of your hand. If there is too much salt, then you need to rinse and let it stand in cold water for about 30 minutes, rinse again and then dry. Sometimes it happens that you oversalt, the salt varies from spoon to spoon, but it’s not scary at all. |
Now lightly powder the dried pieces with paprika and string them onto skewers or wire, whatever you think of. This is my method: I then hang these skewers on an inverted stool and dry them at room temperature for 12-16 hours. If there is a place where there is a draft, then even better, air movement will speed up the process. In my kitchen the window is open almost all the time, so I put it there. Adjust the drying level to suit your taste. |
This is how beautiful and tasty carpaccio turns out. It should be stored in the refrigerator wrapped in paper, not in plastic, it will suffocate. I use regular baking paper. |
Bon appetit! |

How to prepare a salad with dry-cured chicken carpaccio at home
The preparation of this salad must be started in advance - several days in advance, so that the meat has time to dry well
But as in the previous version, it is very important to pay attention to its quality. The fillet should be fresh, dense, pleasant color and smell
First, let's prepare the breast.
- To do this, wash it and dry it with a paper towel. If we took turkey instead of chicken, we need to cut it into large thick pieces the size of a palm.
- In a separate bowl, mix salt, ground black pepper, paprika and your favorite herbs. Basil, marjoram or French blend work well here, but you can choose your favorites. If we want to make it spicier, add a little chili pepper.
- Roll the chicken breast in a mixture of spices, place in a bowl or tray and press well with a press. Place in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours. During this time, the bird will secrete unnecessary liquid.
- After time has passed, we take out the chicken, remove excess liquid with a paper towel and send it to dry for 3-4 days. To do this, hang the fillet on skewers or in another convenient way.
The room where the chicken will be dried must be cool enough, and must also have good ventilation and no direct sunlight, otherwise the meat risks spoiling.
Let's start assembling the salad
- Boil quail eggs until cooked. If necessary, replace them with chicken eggs at the rate of one chicken egg for 4 quail eggs.
- We wash the lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes under running water and then remove excess moisture.
- Cut the greens into large pieces or tear them by hand. We choose our favorite as a basis.
- Cut the cucumbers into quarters and mix with the salad. Season with olive oil, add a little salt and place on a flat dish.
- Cut quail eggs and cherry tomatoes into halves and place on top of the salad.
- We cut the dried chicken fillet very thinly, like carpaccio, and place it in the center.
- We also thinly slice hard cheese and sprinkle it on the salad. All is ready!
This is how you can easily prepare a salad from chicken carpaccio or turkey carpaccio. Both options will certainly be appreciated by guests
It doesn’t matter whether we serve this dish on a festive table or want to pamper ourselves, the result will remain excellent
Bon appetit!

Recommendations for cooking and benefits of meat
How to cook carpaccio?
If you want to please yourself and your loved ones with such delights, you should consider some recommendations:
Without heat treatment, you can only eat fresh veal or beef. Carpaccio at home should be prepared only from high-quality meat from a healthy animal that has not been fed antibiotics. Before cooking, it is necessary to freeze the meat and leave it for 5 days to prevent infection with protozoa. You can serve a light vegetable salad as a side dish. If you don't have olive oil, you can use sunflower oil. Carpaccio goes well with Parmesan cheese; arugula will add additional piquancy to the dish.
Since today it is difficult to find high-quality meat that you can be 100% sure of, it is recommended to use salted or fried meat. Raw meat can only be used if its quality and origin are known for certain.
The benefits and harms of meat is a rather controversial issue.
Fans of the raw product cite the following advantages over the heat-treated product:
It has a more subtle taste. Uncooked meat retains enzymes that aid digestion. Raw meat does not overload the liver, since it is almost completely absorbed by the body. There are no carcinogens in raw meat that can cause cancer.
Harm of raw meat:
There is a high risk of infection with protozoa, especially the dangerous bovine tapeworm. High risk of intestinal infections.
The benefits and harms of raw and thermally processed meat to some extent balance each other. In any case, everyone decides for themselves, after weighing all the pros and cons, decides in what form it is better to eat meat and whether it is worth the risk for overseas delights.
Diet chicken carpaccio
Those who are losing weight according to the Dukan nutrition system cannot deny themselves such a treat. But this restaurant dish is high in calories and inaccessible. And not at all because of the price, but because of the inclusion of olive oil in its composition. Therefore, you can prepare carpaccio yourself at home. And it’s better to make it from chicken fillet, since it cooks quickly, has a lower calorie content, and is cheaper than beef.
The absence of olive oil in the chicken carpaccio recipe significantly reduces the calorie content of the dish and makes it possible for those who are on a diet to consume it.
Features and traditions of use
Any type of carpaccio is an appetizer that whets your appetite. Therefore, eat the dish before eating the main course.
For example, Washington politicians eat classic carpaccio for breakfast to maintain tone and health. It is also a strong aphrodisiac.
A small portion consisting of 5-6 pieces of chicken fillet will prepare the body to accept heavier food , thanks to its low calorie content and inflammatory dressing, adapted to improve digestion.
To give your food a spicy kick, there are several secrets in preparing the dish:
- Only chilled or fresh poultry breast is suitable for carpaccio.
For an exquisite aroma, red pepper, a mixture of seasonings, coriander, ginger and cloves are added to the chicken.
- For the required color - the main highlight of the dish - the fillet is carefully seasoned with paprika.
Making carpaccio with cognac
Place the meat in the freezer for several days in advance. This must be done to destroy germs. Before use, remove it from the refrigerator and defrost. Chicken breasts need to be separated from the bones, and veins and films must be removed. Then rinse well and dry with a paper towel. If you don't have a towel, you can use regular napkins.
Clean and dry chicken fillet should be dipped in cognac and sprinkled with salt. After this, place in a cool place (but not in the refrigerator) for forty-eight hours. After the required time has passed, the fillet must be cleaned of excess salt, blotted with a paper towel, wrapped in gauze and hung in a ventilated place for another twenty-four hours. Within 24 hours the meat should be covered with a crust.
Then remove the gauze and wrap it in linen cloth. Place in the refrigerator for another twenty-four hours. The meat prepared in this way remains to be smoked in a home smokehouse for about thirty minutes. The finished smoked chicken carpaccio with cognac should be cut into thin slices and served as an appetizer.
