This shredded chicken salad is quite simple to make and tastes delicious. Rest assured, the onions in this recipe provide a delightful crunch without being overpowering.
Ingredients:
- Chicken meat: 250g (use chicken breast)
- Onion: ½ bulb (adjust based on onion size, if small, you can use the whole bulb)
- Carrot: ½ bulb
- Peanuts: 1 small bowl
- Cilantro: 1 bunch
- Vietnamese mint: a few sprigs
Sweet and Sour Dressing Ingredients:
- Sugar: 4 teaspoons
- Fish sauce: 4 teaspoons
- Lime: 1 piece
- Chili: as needed
Instructions for Making Shredded Chicken Salad:
Step 1:

- Peel and clean the onions, thinly slice along the length of the onion.
- Next, soak the onions in a bit of diluted salt to reduce the pungent taste, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Briefly blanch the onions in boiling water, then quickly transfer them to cold water and drain.
Note: Follow these steps to make the onions less pungent yet maintain their crispiness when mixed into the salad. Another helpful tip for reducing onion odor is to mix the onions with sugar, then add lime juice in a ratio of 5 teaspoons of sugar to ½ lime. Mix well and drain the onions. Pay attention to balance the sweetness and acidity for a crispy texture. If you prefer raw onions, give this method a try. It's quite effective.
Step 2:

Clean and peel the carrots, grate or thinly slice them.
Step 3:

Boil the chicken breast until cooked, then shred it into strips lengthwise. It's recommended to shred the meat into pieces of similar size to onions and carrots for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 4:

Roast the peanuts until golden, then let them sit for a while to easily remove the skins. Rub off the peanut skins and crush them.
Step 5:

Prepare the salad dressing: Mix 4 teaspoons of sugar, 4 teaspoons of fish sauce, and 4 teaspoons of lime juice in a bowl until fully dissolved. Finally, add thinly sliced or shredded chili.
Step 6:

Mix together the ingredients, including shredded chicken, onions, carrots, cilantro, and peanuts. Crush the remaining peanuts and sprinkle them into the bowl. Pour the prepared salad dressing evenly, toss well to let the flavors absorb.
Step 7:

Transfer the salad to a plate, sprinkle the remaining crushed peanuts, and garnish with a few sprigs of Vietnamese coriander. Your delicious shredded chicken salad is ready to be served.
