From a Sunset Magazine special edition, "Sunset Weeknight." I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a yummy combination of flavors. Judging from the photo in the magazine, it appears to be somewhere between a soup and a stew in consistency.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 cups lightly packed washed baby spinach leaves (about 4 ozs)
1 (14 ounce) can baby corn, drained
2 roma tomatoes, cored and chopped (about 1/2 lb total)
1/4 cup sliced canned water chestnut
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion (including some green tops)

SINGAPORE CHICKEN STEW

Roxanne Chan likes the way coconut milk smooths out the assertive spices in this quick chicken dish. If you can't find Chinese five spice, substitute equal parts ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, and anise seeds.

Ingredients

1 pound boned, skinned chicken breasts
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice (see note above)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 can (13.5 oz.) coconut milk
1 can (14.5 oz.) fat-skimmed chicken broth
2 cups lightly packed washed baby spinach leaves (about 4 oz.)
1 can (14 oz.) baby corn, drained
2 Roma tomatoes (about 8 oz. total), rinsed, cored, and chopped
1/4 cup sliced canned water chestnuts
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

Rinse chicken, pat dry, and cut into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, chili flakes, and five spice. Add chicken pieces and mix to coat.
