Sunflower Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 chicken legs, skin removed
    salt to taste
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 onion, minced
    3 1/2 cups minced mushrooms
    1 cup mayonnaise
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    3 hard-boiled eggs, yolks and whites separated and grated
    1 1/4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
    1 (4.25 ounce) can pitted black olives, drained
    1 (8 ounce) bag potato chips
Preparation
    Place chicken legs into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until no longer pink at the bone, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool. Shred chicken meat and season with salt.
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
    Mix mayonnaise and garlic together in a bowl. Mix 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise with the chicken.
    Spread chicken-mayonnaise mixture in the shape of a disk on a serving plate. Cover with onion-mushroom mixture and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Add grated egg whites and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top; cover with remaining mayonnaise. Sprinkle grated egg yolks evenly over the top.
    Cut olives into 4 wedges each and place on top to resemble sunflower seeds. Refrigerate salad for 2 hours.
    Place potato chips around the salad to resemble sunflower petals.
