Ginger-Chicken Stew with Greens

This chicken stew has a bold ginger-flavored broth and provides a whole serving of dark leafy greens in each bowl. If short on time, you can use chopped mustard greens—it will be just as delicious.

Prep/Cook Time: 35 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil 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
• ½ cup dry sherry
• 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1½ 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 (6-7 cups), or 2 cups frozen chopped mustard greens

Directions

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.
