CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND CABBAGE SALAD

FLAVOR BOOSTER Boiling the dressing-made with soy sauce, lemon juice, and toasted sesame oil-gives it depth and balance. Because the chicken and vegetables are all either shredded or thinly sliced, they mingle with the cooled dressing and readily soak up its flavors.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (6 to 8 ounces)
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
