Sweet Chili Chicken
By: Cookin-jo
Jan 31, 2007
The "chili" in this recipe comes from Thai sweet chili sauce and it gives this dish both sweetness and a very slight touch of heat. When I make this for my family I omit the spinach and cilantro, and I often substitute a sweet onion for the green onions. Easily doubled. Adapted from Bonnie Stern.
SERVES 3 -4
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.

Fabulous dish, and I love the addition of the spinach. I put an incredible amount of spinach in, and it was still lovely. The hubby loved it as well, and we ate mostly in silence (which is always a good sign with a new dish!) Thanks for posting!

Very good and quick meal. The chicken was so tender and the sauce was great. Served with rice.

Yum, really good recipe. Easy to prepare and enough flavor to excite me, but not so much as to scare my boring family! I doubled the sauce (hosin, soy, and chili mix) and added more veggies and rice.

We enjoyed this recipe, and like anothe reviewer said it would lend itself well to the addition of other veggie combinations. The hoisin & chili sauce I had were quite thick, so I found that I needed to add a bit of chicken stock to the recipe to thin the sauce a bit. I too cut back the oil to 1 tsp which was more than fine to stir fry the dish. Thank you Cookin-jo for sharing the recipe.
