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.
