#chickensalad #chicken #salad
Honestly this is one of the best salads I’ve ever had in my life.
The acid, the sweetness, the tang, the crunch, the freshness… I’ll definitely be making this a regular salad in my rotation.
Great to hear you enjoyed it
I made this salad for the dinner. My family loves it. Thank you. This is the finest salad I have ever made.
As a Vietnamese, I approve this recipe! It’s legit.
Top draw Jack, really good. I have basic skills, I followed your recipe to the letter and produced a restaurant quality salad, lovely touch with the roasted peanuts, Bravo!
Awesome to hear! So glad you enjoyed it
Nice one Jack. All ingredients readily available in stores. Yes, I'll be trying this. Thanks 🙂
Please enjoy it, kim 😊
Great knife skills Jack!
Thank you very much
Oh Jack this looks perfect. Can’t wait to try it
It’s so good! Please enjoy it 😊
@@ChefJackOvens I made this yesterday and it was delicious and I have enough for lunch today. The chicken was perfectly cooked and still so moist. Just wondering if I add salt to my water will that toughen the chicken?
Hi jack, I’ve been watching your channel for a little while now and I have to say I have really enjoyed all your recipes and have tried quite a few. I have were enjoyed very much by my whole family who range from 80 - 15 yrs.
Fantastic! So glad you’ve been enjoying the recipes and your family too 😊😊
Made this tonight jack and it was sensational! Thank you….
This sure looks like a winner for me.... Out of fish stock... Gonna get it soon....have to try this salad... Thank you my fav Chef Jack...you are surely rocking it out in your new kitchen....as always sending you heap loads of love and positive energies 💕💕💕💕
Please do Smita! It’s incredible with so many flavour profiles happening. 😊🙏
Thanks chef you never fail to come up with something amazing 👏
Glad you enjoy the recipes 😊
Most beautiful chicken salad in summer! Thanks a lot!
It’s a pleasure, Lucia! This is such a good summer salad
Nice one Jack, you da man. Just had my first go at it and it was fabulous! My lady insists I make it at least once a week. Thanks mate 👍
Awesome! Glad you both enjoyed it 😊😊
So I'm not the only one. This is a weekly if not bi weekly dish now and I can't complain it's delicious.
Liking the newer detail in your latest videos, ive missed a few recently since you moved. Extra detail really helps.
I like this better than the version I have been making. I always come away from your videos thinking what I can do better overall not only for that recipe but for other dishes I will make as well.
I never thought to poach the chicken, I always roasted it, I have a lot of lemongrass so might try adding that into the poaching process as an experiement.
I never thought to try and pickle some of the ingredients either, which is dumb when I think of it, so much more flavour.
I like Vietnamese Mint and Thai Basil in this as well. Which if anyone does not like Coriander you can use those instead.
I will surely try this recipe. I tried your pumpkin soup recipe. It turned out so well. Now my family wants me to make only this one. I must say it is different than what I have seen on other channels.
Thanks you. May you be blessed.
Please do! It’s incredible. Thank you 🙏
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Thank you! Have a wonderful day yourself 😊
This is so similar to a salad I make all the time, but next time I’m going to try your pickling, and dressing! Looks so yummy.
The quick pickles and the dressing are so good and what makes this salad so special. Hope you enjoy it 😊
OMG... this looks amazing and you are a doll. Be safe.
Thank you so much! Stay safe too 🙏
Just brilliant Jack! Well done mate. I'm definitely attempting.this one this week. Thanks for your recipes. We have been feasting and loving them for about 3 weeks now!
Looks really good Jack and definitely on the list for tomorrow as going to be very hot here. Blessings. x
This I will make. I love chicken anything!! Thank you, Jack.
Fantastic! You’re very welcome 😊
I just came across this salad recipe. I was looking for a recipe with no mayo for a change. This looks amazing, Chef! I will make it today.
Thank you for this. One for a summers day. Excellent knife skills as usual. BandAids at the ready for me.
Excellent video Jack. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, paul 😊
This looks so yummy. Thankyou so much.
Thanks for the Vietnan salad recipe, a few days ago I was in Vietnam, and I went to the Buffet on Top of Mt. Fansipan at Vam Sam Restaurant in Sapa Vietnam, also in Hanoi
Can't wait to try this - it looks amazing! Thanks, Jack!
It’s a pleasure! Please enjoy it 😊
Looks amazing Jack 😜 looking forward to trying it x
Love it bro! Keep it up 🤙🤙
My absolutely favourite salad!
It really is amazing

*@Jack Please come to the US sometime. You will be an instant hit!*
One day 👌👌
it looks so delicious,i will try it.
looks great will try for sure
Hi Jack that looked absolutely scrumptious I love salads could you possibly do a prawn salad video please.
Just had this for the second time. Absolutely delicious Jack, a winner with all the family, even the fussy one! Any chance of some more salad recipes for your fellow Southern Hemisphere brother?
I was raised eating chicken salad. A staple in the south in the States. Your recipe is quite different than Georgia’ “southern chicken salad” but it looks delicious. Can’t wait to make this and see how it compares to my grandma’s version. Oh and by the way: damn, your knife skills are epic!
Chicken salads are amazing and I bet your grandmas version is incredible! This one is a lot different to a southern style as it uses a lot of Asian inspired ingredients. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you 🙏
Another great video. Thanks CJO. 4:56
we saw you pinching a piece of chicken :)
Of course! Haha 😂
Chicken salad? Always good Jack😃Thank you😘
You’re very welcome ☺️
Delicious! Thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome ☺️
With weather getting hotter, this will be a great refreshing salad to enjoy, I'll just make mine without the devil's lettuce, thanks chef!
Your terminology is on point but even thou it wasn't I still will believe it because your explanation is always so easy to follow 😂
Haha trust me I’m not making this up haha 😂
Will try this one😄
Oh Yes Chef Jack I like - Summer's Coming!!! Thank You - shall try this on my Salad Dubious Guests lol
It’s definitely a great one for those warm days! Please enjoy it 😊
Will save this one !Looks great .I love that you don’t waste any scraps .Can you show a nice stock recipe too?
I have many stock recipes on the channel already but I will have to do an updated version of them 😊
@@ChefJackOvens great !Thank you
Very nice’ 👍 Looks fantastic! 😝😘🙏🥘🥬
Thank you! Glad you think so
my favorite of all time
Happy to hear 😊
Looks delicious 😋
That looks soooo good and although I'm not a big lover of chicken breast you've sold me on this. I've never had boiled chicken before and that dressing sounds just up my street. Thank you 💛
Yeah chicken breast is terrible, Vietnamese ck salad is the only good way to eat it , it's actually really delicious like this , the veges answer sauce really compliments the dryness of the chicken. .
If the chicken breast is cooked right it’s actually delicious. Too many recipes online suggest cooking it for way too long. In this recipe the chicken isn’t dry at all 😊
@@ChefJackOvens I've made my shopping list. I love the way you make it so easy for us x
@@brucelee5576 Thanks Bruce, I've made my shopping list and going to try it x
Will try it ❤
Enjoy
Looks great Jack. Can't wait to try it out. Any pumpkin recipes planned since it's almost Hallowe'en 🎃
I was thinking about it. I’ll see what I can do this week coming 😊
@@ChefJackOvens Ooh! Pumpking soup would be amazing. It's getting cold.
Edit: And i just noticed you have a recipe already on the channel. Woot! I know what i am doing this weekend.
Looks so so fresh!!!!...😜😜
Thanks chef
It’s a pleasure 😊
‘Get your hands in there nice and deep like’, is that a dodgeball reference? Made me laugh either way.
“Don’t worry about speed, that comes after precession”
HA!!! That’s what she said!! 🥺
Looking good Jack! Another great recipe with in-depth step by step instructions plus explanations which gives the home cook confidence to attempt something a bit more challenging. Top job and best wishes from AKL.
Thank you, Howard! Glad you enjoy everything and I’m happy to hear it gives you confidence to try it yourself 😊
Like a Banh Mi salad. Gotta try this.
💯💯
Nice job
Looks really delicious and crisp.
What do you think of subbing sugar for honey and adding a bit of oil. I like the spicy touch though.
Definitely looking forward to making this one.
Thanks for the recipe, sir.
Glad you think so! Personally I will say no but that’s not stopping you from doing it if you’d like to do that. The sugar is what makes this dish pop in flavour and it works really well with the quick pickles. If you are to sub the sugar for honey I wouldn’t recommend adding oil aswell as it’s not needed 😊😊
@@ChefJackOvens I understand. Thanks for the response.
Faveeee!!!
Looks very nice indeed Jack and will be doing this over the weekend, but I'm not putting my nuts on a baking tray for nobody .
The one I must dig in
Definitely 💯💯
Okay, you are for sure a "Knife Skill Stud"!
Haha 😛
Last time I tried making fish sauce dressing, it smelled like bootie hole but I'm going to give it a shot again! Nice looking salad chef!
This looks fantastic and creative! I am wondering, would it be possible to substitute the fish sauce for Worcestershire sauce?
I'm thinking Worcestershire would be too salty, but I was wondering if oyster sauce would be a good substitute.
Glad you enjoyed it. Worcestershire sauce and oyster sauce will ruin this dish. unfortunately you need that fish sauce to make this dish at its full potential.
Oh well, off to the grocery store I go, thanks... can't wait to make and eat your beautiful chicken salad!
@@ChefJackOvens Thanks, I'll have to purchase the fish sauce then - it looks like a divine recipe! Your recipes are out of this world -- like better than Jamie Oliver (Shh!).
Happy International Chefs Day!
Am i allowed to substitute the peanut at the start for almonds?
Hey Jack, what about showing us some low price recipes for students that don't take too long? I don't want to eat noodles any more😉
would poaching the chicken in chicken stock improve the flavor?
Yum
🤤🤤
Wow amazing! ❤
Thank you, Stella
That whole thing from start to finish was so fascinating Jack! Techniques I have never seen before (mind you, I'm not a chef), but I've never seen other chefs use the techniques either. It sounds like a really amazing salad . . . something different for a change! As ever, TFS and have a great evening. 👍💖
This is great to hear, Hazel. So glad you enjoyed everything and I hope you enjoy the salad if you get to making it. Thank you very much and have a great day. 😊
Whats the difference between poaching the chicken and cooking it in a pan or oven?
Ive never poached chicken in water before, so if its supposed to absorb flavour much more, why do we not all cook it this way more often, is there a downside to it?
Great Salad Man, Mose asian salads please
Definitely! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hi chef, can any other sweetener be substituted for sugar?
I wouldn’t recommend it as sweetener is artificial in most cases and will change the flavour drastically.
I ADORE READING
I don't do too well with peanuts. How about almonds, or cashews?:)
Gud n yaa. 👌
👌👌👌
"Chuck your nuts onto a baking tray"
Yes sir! 👉👈
add chilli oil and its perfect! :D
🤤🤤🤤
Nice! But could be healthier with less sugar
The sugar is needed to obtain the full flavour. You can add less but it definitely won’t taste as good. Treat yourself 😉
💯👍🏽
🤤🤤🤤
Why isn't there any oil for the salad?
This is a Vietnamese salad. No oil is needed or added. There’s so much flavour from everything else.
making my stomach rumble here, damn
I thought I was a mature and serious human ready for any professional environment. Then you said "chuck your nuts" 🥴
Haha 😂
Can't stop watching.
Marry me?!
🤗🤗
No, no, no, do not poach chicken in boiling water. It should be max 90 C, preferably 75-80 C otherwise it goes dry.
Chicken will go dry if you overcook it. The boiling water is fine 😊
Chuck your nuts onto a baking tray and spread them out to let them breathe 🤭🤣
audio is mad
Was fine til you threw Coriander (THE DEVIL’S WEED) into it. 🤨🤨. That sh*t belongs down the toilet. 🤮🤮🤮. Apart from that, I’d eat it. 👍🏻😆
Excellent, but YOU talk way too fast!
You can slow down the speed. That’s what I did
I understand you’re trying to use the algorithm for promotion but I really dislike the way you have turned with titling videos. It doesn’t help for searching, it hinders it. If I’m looking for a recipe my focus is on the dish I’m making, not whether you think I need to know it or if you make it every week. I know this is something Ethan Chleboweski does all the time and it has turned me away from his videos. It’s a recipe. Tell me what you’re making.
Hey Kyle, I appreciate your feedback. To be completely honest with you, if I post this video with the title “Vietnamese chicken salad” from past experiences this video will get no traction whatsoever and I’ll lose out on time, effort and any sort of income. At the end of the day this is my job and I need to pay my bills. Like any job in life, without customers nobody is getting paid and that’s the same process for TH-cam content creators that do this for a living.
I’m saying that, I will see what I can do to make it work and make it easier for you to search up such recipes. I personally don’t want my time and effort going to waste as what may be a 6 minute, free video for you, took me 3 full days to film, direct, edit and produce. I hope this doesn’t come off rude or anything as that’s not the type of person I am. I sometimes think things aren’t fully understood. Hope you have a great week, Kyle 😊🙏
@@ChefJackOvens Hi Jack, I appreciate the reply and I wanna apologise fist off as I know the tone of my writing there wasn’t my best. Like you I don’t like feeling like I’ve been rude and really I was a bit rude there.
I of course also understand you have to do what you have to do to get engagement, and the algorithm favours certain things, and at the end of the day this is your source of income. I do stand by my point that I think you can make it clearer what’s being made while still utilising the best tools at your disposal to promote engagement. I can only speak to my own habits but for me not knowing what’s being made beyond a very minimal description turns me away from watching in the first instance. But not everyone is the same.
this is the WRONG recipe for Vietnamese salad!
Where you supposed to go elsewhere?
Can't wait to try this salad for my family! Love the textures and it looks so flavorful and easy!
