Sweet Chili Chicken

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

Directions:


1 Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

2 Add ginger, green onions and garlic and stir 30 seconds.

3 Add chicken cubes and stir-fry 2 or 3 minutes, until browned.

4 Mix the hoisin, chili sauce and soy sauce and add to the chicken.

5 Cook until chicken is fully cooked.

6 Add spinach and cook a minute until just wilted.

7 Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.

8 If you prefer a thick sauce combine a teaspoon of cornstarch with a bit of water and stir in until sauce thickens.

9 Leftovers make a good wrap filling with additional vegetables.
