Step 1
Place the 1 lb chicken breast in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low, cover, and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes. The chicken should feel firm and no longer pink inside.
Step 2
While chicken cooks, thinly slice the 4 scallions and 0.5 red onion. Grate the 1 inch ginger. Set aside.
Step 3
Remove chicken from pot, let cool slightly, then shred or slice. In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp soy sauce with the grated ginger.
Step 4
Arrange chicken on a plate, pour the soy-ginger sauce over it, and top with the sliced scallions and red onion. Sprinkle with the 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
