1. Combine coconut milk, cilantro root and stem mixture, garlic and lime leaves in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add chicken and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, about 10 mins or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 mins. Remove chicken from pan.

4. In a small heatproof bowl, soak lemongrass with boiling water for about 4 mins or until just tender; drain. Slice thinly and combine in a large bowl with cucumber, bean sprouts, mint, cilantro leaves, chili pepper and dressing. Divide chicken mixture among serving plates; top with salad.
