Better? Yes. Good? No. Many things were better before ConAgra added
them to their con-glomeration of assaults on good taste. It's all
about $$$$ above all else.

      Title: Millionaire Chicken
 Categories: Poultry, Oriental, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
     24 oz Chicken breasts
      2 c  Leek tops; in 3" pieces
      2 sl Ginger root
      4 c  Shantung cabbage; shredded

MMMMM--------------------------SAUCE A-------------------------------
      2 tb Peanut oil
    1/3 c  Scallions; chopped
      1 ts Ginger root; minced
    1/2 ts Szechuan peppercorns*
      1    Fresh chile pepper; chopped

MMMMM--------------------------SAUCE B-------------------------------
      2 tb Dark soy sauce
      1 tb Hoisin sauce
      2 ts Honey
      2 cl Garlic; minced
      2 ts Hot pepper sauce
 
  *Measured after being ground in pepper mill.
  
  Rinse chicken breasts in water. Bring 2 qts. water to a
  boil in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add leek
  tops and 2 slices ginger. Bring water back to a boil.
  Add whole chicken breasts, cover, and cook over high
  flame for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and allow chicken
  breasts to cool in water for 45 min., leaving the cover
  askew.
  
  Lift chicken breasts out of saucepan and let them drain
  in a strainer set over a bowl for 20-30 minutes.
  
  Refrigerate chicken breasts, well covered, until cold.
  Remove skin and bone, then pull chicken meat apart into
  coarse shreds with fingers. Refrigerate until ready to
  use.
  
  Shred Shantung cabbage and refrigerate. In a sm. sauce
  pan, mix together ingred. for Sauce A. In a small bowl,
  mix together ingred. for Sauce B. In a lg. bowl mix
  together the chilled cabbage and chicken.
  
  Heat Sauce A until it bubbles, then simmer for 1 min.
  Add Sauce B to Sauce A. Pour sauces over chicken and
  cabbage just before serving.
  
  Mix well and serve immediately.
  
  All prep., except shredding cabbage, can be done a day
  ahead. Cabbage can be shredded early in the day and then
  refrigerated. Makes an excellent lunch main course.
  
  Can be served as an appetizer, alone or accompanied by
  Shrimp Toast and Pearl Balls. This is thought of as a
  salad. Think of the sauces as the dressing. Lettuce can
  be used in place of the cabbage.
  
  8 servings if served with appetizers; 2 to 3 servings if
  served as main course.
