Pulled
Chicken-Peanut Salad
2 tablespoons frozen orange-tangerine
or orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 cups watercress sprigs
1/4 cup cocktail peanuts
In a small bowl combine juice concentrate, water, sesame
oil, salt, and pepper. Reserve 1 tablespoon of orange
juice concentrate mixture. Cover remaining mixture. Set
aside. In a large skillet bring 1/2 inch of water to
boiling. (Water should come just below the bottom of a
steamer basket.) Reduce heat to simmer. Arrange chicken
in a single layer in basket. Place basket in skillet.
Brush chicken with the reserved 1 tablespoon juice
mixture. Cover. Steam chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or
until tender and no longer pink. Remove chicken.
Transfer to cutting board. Cool slightly (about 5
minutes). Using a pair of forks, pull chicken into
bite-size pieces about 1-1/2 inches long. To serve,
combine watercress, chicken, and peanuts in a large
salad bowl. Stir in remaining juice mixture. Pour over
salad and toss to coat. Makes 4 main-dish servings.
