Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
- Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- While the potatoes are boiling, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Add the prosciutto slices and cook until they are crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then chop into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the light sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, and sugar.
- Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the cooked and chopped potatoes, sliced chicken, and prosciutto pieces to the bowl with the dressing.
- Add the chopped chives.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the potatoes, chicken, and prosciutto are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature.
- Garnish with additional chives if desired.
Tips:
- For best flavor, allow the potato salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Feel free to customize the salad by adding your favorite vegetables, such as diced bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
- To cook the chicken breasts evenly, make sure they are of uniform thickness. Pound them lightly if necessary.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch in your salad, consider adding some celery or apple slices.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute the light sour cream with Greek yogurt or regular sour cream.
With these simple steps, you've created a delightful potato salad with chicken and prosciutto that's perfect for any meal. The blend of tender chicken, crisp prosciutto, and creamy dressing pairs wonderfully with the hearty potatoes. Serve it as a main dish or a side—either way, it’s sure to be enjoyed by everyone.
