Hawaiian Ginger-Chicken Stew Recipe

Hawaiian Ginger-Chicken Stew Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon sesame or canola oil
  • 1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks or minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry (see Tip)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Asian red chile sauce, such as sriracha, or to taste
  • 1 bunch mustard greens or chard, stemmed and chopped
  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate with tongs.
  2. Add ginger and garlic to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add sherry and cook until mostly evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and water, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Add soy sauce, chile sauce and mustard greens (or chard) and cook until the greens are tender, about 3 minutes. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
