Directions
Bring the water to boil in a large saucepan. Add the chicken pieces, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove the chicken from pan and immerse it in a bowl of cool water at least 1 hour to cool it, ready for shredding. Remove the chicken pieces with a draining spoon and drain well. Pat dry with papper towels.
Strip all the meat from the bone. On a flat surface, using a rolling pin, pound the chicken to flatten. Tear the meat into shreds with two forks. Mix with the shred cucumber and arrange in a serving dish.
To serve:
Mix together all the sauce ingredients. Pour over the chicken and cucumber.
