Poach the chicken in gently simmering water (not boiling, so it stays tender) for 15 minutes, then let it cool a little before shredding it into fine strips by hand or with a fork.
Thinly slice the cabbage and grate the carrot.
Toss the shredded chicken with the cabbage, carrot, sliced chili and chopped mint.
Season with fish sauce and lime juice, mix well, lightly massaging the cabbage by hand so it soaks up the flavours, and serve chilled.
