Cucumber with Shredded Chicken

This refreshing and flavorful Shredded Chicken Salad with Cucumber and Carrot is a perfect balance of tender protein and crisp veggies, tossed in a zesty garlic-chili dressing. Succulent chicken breast is gently poached with green onions, ginger, and cooking wine for a juicy, aromatic base. Paired with fresh cucumber and carrot strips, the dish gets a vibrant crunch. The magic happens when minced garlic and chili are stir-fried to fragrant perfection, then drizzled over the mix of shredded chicken and veggies. A tangy blend of light soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and sugar ties everything together for a bright, savory-sweet flavor. Quick to prepare yet packed with texture and taste, this salad is ideal for a light lunch, dinner, or meal prep. The contrast of cool vegetables, tender chicken, and spicy garlic oil makes every bite irresistible!
