Step 1
Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips and season with 0.5 tsp salt. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and julienne the 2 tbsp ginger, mince the 3 garlic cloves, and thinly slice the 1 red chili pepper.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips in a single layer and sear until golden on one side, about 2 minutes, then stir-fry until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes more. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add the ginger, garlic, and chili. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the pan, add 2 tbsp soy sauce, and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce coats the chicken.
Step 7
Add the 2 cups greens and stir-fry until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Serve hot.
