In large pot; add broth to cover. Over high heat, bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Cool chicken in broth. Remove chicken from broth; strain and reserve broth. Remove and discard skin and shred chicken into bite-size pieces.
In saucepan over medium heat, heat oil with garlic and ginger just until it sizzles.
