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
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 pound white or cremini mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/2 head napa cabbage (about 1 pound), cored and shredded
6 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 carrot, shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1 scallion, trimmed and sliced into thin strips, for serving

Steps:

Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, season with salt, and reduce to a bare simmer. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let chicken stand, covered, until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes more. Remove chicken from liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, vegetable oil, sugar, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil, then let cool to room temperature.
Transfer soy mixture to a medium bowl and stir in mushrooms. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken, cabbage, radishes, carrot, celery, and mint; toss to combine. Top salad with scallion and serve immediately.
