Instructions

  5. Now add 1 tsp oil again. Add the mushroom slices with little salt and sauté them on medium flame for 3-4 minutes or until all the water releasing from mushrooms evaporates and they turned out light brown in color. Remove and keep aside.
  6. Take a large bowl. Add boiled macaroni, chopped apple, bell peppers, sautéed broccoli florets and mushrooms.
  7. Tear the boiled chicken breast into small pieces using your fingers, or you can chop it into pieces using a knife. Do whatever suits you; add these pieces into the mixing bowl.
