Directions:
1. Poach the chicken in simmering salted water for 20 minutes, then drain and leave to cool.
2. Cut the carrot into 10cm sections, finely slice lengthways and then cut into matchsticks.
3. Mix the vinegar or lime juice with the sugar, garlic, salt and pepper, toss with the sliced shallots and carrot and set aside for 10 minutes.
