Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps thinly sliced
4 scallions, cut crosswise into thirds, then lengthwise into julienne strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Soft-leafed lettuce for serving

Steps:

Bring 1 1/2 inches water to a boil with ginger in a deep 12-inch skillet and add chicken. Poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate and when cool enough to handle, finely shred.
Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a large bowl to make dressing.
Heat vegetable oil in cleaned skillet until hot but not smoking, then sauté mushrooms over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add scallions, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste and sauté, stirring, until scallions are just softened, about 1 minute.
Add to dressing, then add chicken and cilantro and toss. Serve chicken salad with lettuce.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this recipe. They are lean and cook quickly.
Shred the chicken correctly: To get the best texture, use two forks to shred the chicken. This will give you long, thin shreds.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a variety of spices and herbs.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: This is important to prevent the chicken from becoming dry or tough.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Asian shredded chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
