Detailed step -by -step recipe with photo: Step 1
-
Before you start, prepare all the ingredients for okroshka. It is especially important to cool kvass in advance, because it is he who is responsible for the refreshing component of the dish. In the summer heat, it is convenient to boil potatoes and eggs in the morning, and by dinner — just collect everything in a bowl. So the okroshka will turn out to be cold as it should.
Choose bread kvass without strong sweetness — it is best combined with smoked meat and vegetables.
For okroshka with smoked chicken, any parts of the bird are suitable — breast, hips. I use smoked chicken legs — they have a rich taste and aroma, which goes well with kvass.

Step 2
Boil the eggs screwed (about 9-10 minutes after boiling). Immediately after this time passes, transfer the eggs into cold water so that they are easier to clean.

Step 3
With potatoes you can do as you are more convenient.
You can boil it in a uniform. This must then be done in salted water until soft, but not digested. Check for piercing with a fork. After cooking, let cool right in the peel so that the potato does not fall apart. Then peel and cut into small cubes. The pieces should not be too large, but not turn into mashed potatoes.
But there is another second option. Peel the potatoes before cooking, cut into cubes immediately and boil until cooked. So the process will take less time, but you need to carefully monitor so as not to digest — otherwise the cubes will collapse.

Step 5
Cut chicken meat into small pieces, in size approximately like potatoes. Fat or too dry parts are best removed.

Step 6
Cut cucumbers with small cubes. If the peel of the cucumbers is too hard — peel it. You can also cut the seeds if they are large and watery.

Step 7
Finely chop the radish.

Step 8
When the eggs cool down, they need to be cleaned and chop finely. You can grate on a large grater if it is faster and more familiar.

Step 9
Finely chop green onions. If the onion is sharp, you can slightly grind it with a pinch of salt directly on the board, such an action will remove sharpness. The onion will taste all components, especially after adding kvass.

Step 10
In a deep bowl, combine chopped potatoes, eggs, cucumbers, chicken and green onions.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11
Mix everything carefully to keep the cut shape.
Try for salt. Remove in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes so that it has time to cool and brew a little.

Step 12
Okroshka with smoked chicken is ready. To serve in a portion, put the chopped okroshka, then pour kvass to the consistency that you love. Someone loves a more liquid okroshka, someone thicker, everything is to taste.
It is not worth storing an okroshka with already poured kvass for a long time — it is better to connect before serving.
Bon appetit!
