Pare cucumber; cut lengthwise into halves. Remove seeds; cut cucumber diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut green onions diagonally into 1-inch pieces. MIx wine, soy sauce, sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.

**Chicken breasts can be used instead of the thighs. You will need 2 whole chicken breasts (about 2 pounds). To remove bones from chicken thighs, cut down the center of the thigh to the bone; separate the meat from the bone. Cucumbers are generally eaten raw in United States, but they are luscious cooked with chicken.
