1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 thai bird chilies or 2 serrano chilies
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach
3 garlic cloves
1/2 tablespoon peanut oil or 1/2 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 tablespoon red chili paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Steps:

Finely chop the garlic and chilies, then use the side of your knife to press them together into a rough paste. (Add a pinch of salt to make this process easier.).
Preheat a wok or stainless-steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the garlic-chili paste you just made, and cook for 1 to 3 minutes (be careful not to burn the garlic).
Chop the chicken into small pieces and add them to the pan, cooking until they're lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, red-chili paste, and sugar, and continue to cook until the chicken is done all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the pepper and spinach, and cook until the spinach is just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
