We loved this quick stir fry. It has a bit of heat, but next time I might even add more. If you don't like heat you can leave the serranos out. I used baby bok choy which worked perfectly. This really is fairly quick to make to. From Bon Appetit April 2008.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons dry sherry, divided
3 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
2 teaspoons golden brown sugar, divided
1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide strips
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
4 green onions, white parts and green parts chopped separately
2 teaspoons chopped seeded serrano chilies
1 bunch greens, thick stems removed, spinach left whole, other greens cut into 1-inch strips (such as spinach, mustard greens, kale, or broccoli rabe, about 1 pound)
1/4 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Sherry, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar in medium bowl. Add chicken; marinade 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Sherry, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar in small bowl and reserve.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add white parts of onions and chiles; stir 30 seconds. Add chicken; stir-fry just until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken mixture to bowl. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to same skillet; heat over high heat. Add greens by large handfuls; stir just until beginning to wilt before adding more. Sauté just until tender, 1 to 6 minutes, depending on type of greens. Return chicken to skillet. Add reserved soy sauce mixture; stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
