How to Make It
1. Step
Place the chicken breasts, salt, peppercorns, halved onion, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and water in a large pot.
2. Step
Cover the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Step
Once the water is simmering, cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C) when pierced with an instant-read thermometer.
4. Step
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and discard the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, pull the chicken apart until shredded.
5. Step
In a large nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
6. Step
Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
7. Step
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
8. Step
Add the soy sauce, honey, and lime juice and stir until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
9. Step
Add the shredded chicken and mix until everything is well incorporated.
10. Step
Remove the pan from the heat and let the chicken cool for 5 minutes before spooning into the lettuce leaves.
11. Step
Top with sliced scallions.
