Hue Chicken Salad (Ga Bop)

This is a simply version of a Vietnamese chicken salad. Usually there would be some thai basil in it, but Utah does not have this around. I could've substitute it with cilantro, but I'm not really a huge fan of it. This recipe is just estimation. The chicken salad should taste really limey and somewhat salty. It is up to your taste. This may sound weird, but my sister and I like to eat this cold, right out from the refrigerator.

I like to use drumsticks or thighs because it's juicier than the breasts.

Slice the onions as thin as possible, and slice the limes in half.

Once the chicken has finished cooking, cut them into long, somewhat thin piece. My mom always left the bones in so I did too.

Add the amount of onions you would like.

Add the lime juice in.

I mixed all the ingredients by hand. I added a little sugar, salt, and pepper.
