Sweet Chili Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast half, cut into 1 inch dice
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon gingerroot, peeled and minced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 green onions, chopped
    2 cups spinach, stems removed
    2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
    3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    3 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce (red pepper jelly may be substituted, but don't use Asian chili paste)
    2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
Preparation
    Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
    Add ginger, green onions and garlic and stir 30 seconds.
    Add chicken cubes and stir-fry 2 or 3 minutes, until browned.
    Mix the hoisin, chili sauce and soy sauce and add to the chicken.
    Cook until chicken is fully cooked.
    Add spinach and cook a minute until just wilted.
    Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.
    If you prefer a thick sauce combine a teaspoon of cornstarch with a bit of water and stir in until sauce thickens.
    Leftovers make a good wrap filling with additional vegetables.
