Diet-Friendly Chicken Breast Salad: Achieve Ultimate Tenderness and Moisture!
Let’s make a chicken breast salad that is wonderfully tender and moist. This recipe is perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients- 250g Chicken Breast
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 1 handful Salad Greens (your choice)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 250g of chicken breast. (Note: The recipe uses 250g, but 500g was boiled in the picture; adjust the quantity as needed.) Rinse the chicken breast thoroughly under cold running water. Place the chicken breast in a pot and cover it with enough water to submerge.
Step 2
To eliminate any gamey odors and add flavor while boiling, add a pinch of whole peppercorns, 1-2 tablespoons of soju (Korean rice wine), and a little coarse salt. Boiling with these ingredients will make the chicken breast much more tender and delicious.
Step 3
While the chicken breast is boiling, prepare the salad vegetables. Slice the cucumber thinly or into bite-sized pieces. Wash the salad greens, drain them well, and prepare them in bite-sized pieces if necessary.
Step 4
Once the chicken breast is cooked, don’t remove it immediately. Instead, briefly immerse it in an ice bath. This crucial step helps to lock in the juices, ensuring a moist and springy texture. Leave it in the ice bath for about 2-3 minutes before taking it out.
Step 5
After it has cooled sufficiently, shred or dice the chicken breast into your preferred bite-sized pieces (either by pulling it apart along the grain or cutting it). Once the chicken breast is ready, it’s incredibly easy to assemble the salad! Combine the prepared greens and chicken breast in a salad bowl. Serve with your favorite oriental dressing or any other dressing you prefer. Making a delicious and satisfying salad has never been this simple!
