Ingredients

4 coins fresh ginger
2 sprigs coriander
3 scallions
1 small carrot, halved
1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken breasts halves, on the bone
4 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
2 kirby cucumbers, seeded and diced
1/4 medium jicama, peeled and diced
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 scallion (white and green), thinly sliced
1/4 cup toasted cashews, chopped
Low-Fat Ginger Dressing, recipe follows
1 head Boston lettuce, leaves
1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian chili paste, such as sambal oelek
2 teaspoons Southeast Asian fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon broth from poaching chicken
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Put the ginger, coriander, scallions, carrot, and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth, and bring just to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken for 20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover, and cool the chicken in the liquid, about 30 minutes. Bone and pull the chicken into bite-size pieces. Save the broth.
Toss the chicken with the remaining salad ingredients and toss with the dressing. Wrap about 1/3 cup of the salad in a lettuce leaf. Serve 3 to 4 lettuce leaves per person with a wedge of lime if desired.
Whisk the lime juice, ginger, soy, chili, fish sauce, salt and broth in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a dressing.

Ingredients

⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Asian garlic-chili sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked linguine pasta
3 ½ cups cooked chicken, cut into strips
1 cup julienne-sliced carrot
6 green onions, chopped

Steps:

To make the dressing, place the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons of chicken broth together in a blender or bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thin the dressing to your taste by adding more chicken broth or water.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place pasta into a large mixing bowl.
Add the chicken, carrots, green onions, red pepper, celery, and cilantro to the bowl with the linguine. Pour the dressing over the noodle-chicken mixture and toss until mixture is evenly coated. Divide the salad among eight serving plates, and sprinkle peanuts over each serving.
