1/4
teaspoon red pepper flakes

16
chicken tenders (about 1 pound)

1
tablespoon peanut oil

Hot cooked rice (optional)



Preparation:
1.
Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, sherry, garlic and red pepper in shallow dish. Add chicken; coat well.

2.
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 6 minutes, turning once, until chicken is browned and no longer pink in center.

Cook's Nook: If you can "take the heat," try adding a few Szechuan peppers to the dish. They are best if heated in the oven or over a low flame in a skillet for a few minutes beforehand.
