This cooked chicken meat is popular dish from Szechuan in China.

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 paper 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 shredded
cucumber and arrange in a serving dish.

To serve, mix together all the sauce ingredients.  Pour over the
chicken and cucumber.
