Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless & skinless, poached (see related recipe) or pre-cooked
  • 1 English cucumber seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 green onions sliced thin

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds lightly crushed
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha optional, omit for nightshade-free
  • 2 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons ginger fresh grated
  • 1 tablespoon monk fruit granulated, or liquid, to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Salt the cucumber and let stand in a fine mesh strainer or colander to remove excess moisture, at least 15 minutes. While the cucumber stands, prepare the chicken, if poaching yourself.
  • Shred the chicken into bite size pieces and let cool completely.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the shredded chicken. Add the cucumber and onions and toss again to combine. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

If you have a sous vide machine, you can easily prepare the chicken breasts by cooking them at 147ĀŗF for 1 hour the day before. Chill overnight and then shred.Ā
