Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add chicken breasts and simmer until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, shred into bite-sized pieces with two forks.
Step 3
Heat neutral oil in a small skillet over medium-low until it shimmers, about 60 seconds. Add minced ginger and white scallion parts.
Step 4
Cook ginger-scallion mixture until fragrant, about 90 seconds. Pour over shredded chicken, add soy sauce and sesame oil.
Step 5
Toss chicken with the dressing until evenly coated. Transfer to a plate and scatter green scallion parts on top.
Step 6
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
