Tofu has no taste of its own. It takes on the taste of whatever you cook it with. So if you want it to taste like chicken you will have to cook it in chicken stock.
The trick to making tofu taste almost just as good as meat/poultry? It's called ';mushroom powder.'; You can find this at the local Asian supermarket. It does wonders..



My favorite is stuffed tomatoes (with tofu instead of ground beef).



Once it's flavored with mushroom powder (1-2 T per package) marinate it with other ingredients like garlic, cilantro, green onion (white part), shallots, oysters sauce, salt, pepper and a tiny bit of sugar(to counterbalance the other flavors- 1/4 T). Afterwards, mash it. If you want a crispy texture, heat up a non-stick frying pan with 1T canola oil and fry it in there. It tastes really crunchy and good!



Good luck!
You have to use soy chicken, tofu will just break up.
The ';magic'; of tofu is that it absorbs the taste of anything in which it is cooked. Therefore, I would think that you would first have to flavor the tofu with chicken broth. Just pour the broth in a bowl, place cut up tofu into the broth, and let soak overnight. It is sort of like marinating meat.
