Crispy-tender green beans, delicate shredded chicken, a creamy addictive sesame dressing: this simple, deliciously healthy and flavour-packed salad makes a perfect, almost-effortless summer meal. Although you can find green beans in supermarkets all year round, there?s nothing like plump, fresh green beans in summer. I used 3 chicken thighs for the recipe, but you can use chicken breast, or leftover roasted chicken. Try to shred the chicken the same size as the sliced green beans for the best texture. This salad tastes the best after chilling for an hour in the refridgerator, but if you are short on time or can't wait that long, serve it immediately.

350 g Chicken thigh or chicken breast 2-3 slice Ginger
1 Scallion, chopped
Sea salt
400 g Green beans, trimmed

35 g White sesame seeds, toasted
60 g Mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
1 tbsp Soya sauce
1 Lime, juiced or plain rice vinegar
2 tsp Toasted sesame oil
1 tsp Honey

In a medium saucepan, add the chicken thighs or breast, ginger, scallion and enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil, lower heat immediately to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid and cook for 15 minutes for the thighs, and 10 minutes for the breast. Turn off the heat, cover completely with lid, and leave on the stovetop for another 10 minutes.
