Bok Choy and Chicken

Submitted by ketchupqueen

"So yummy. So easy. So fast. Healthy, too! One of my mom's easy dinners. Bok choy is a leafy vegetable that tastes kind of like a cross between lettuce and cabbage, but also with a flavor of its own."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 large bok choy
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 3 -8 cloves garlic, minced (depending on size and your taste)
• 1⁄4 cup dry sherry or 1/4 cup cooking sherry
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce (I prefer Kikkoman)
• 2 -3 tablespoons oil (just enough to coat the bottom of the pan)

directions

1. Wash bok choy very well.
2. Slice across the leaf at about 1/2 inch intervals.
3. Discard the bottom when you get to the part with no green on it.
4. Drain thoroughly.
5. Chop chicken breasts into 1/2 to 1 inch chunks.
6. Heat oil in a wok or large, high-sided frying pan with a lid over medium heat.
7. When oil is hot, add garlic.
8. Saute for a few seconds, then add chicken.
9. Saute until slightly browned all over (no pink showing on the outside).
10. Add bok choy and stir-fry for about half a minute, until just wilted.
11. Add soy sauce and sherry.
12. Cover and cook until chicken is done; about 10 to 15 minutes.
13. Serve over steamed white rice with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce.

We got a bunch of Bok Choy with our CSA share and I had no idea what to do with it. Needed something simple and quick, and this fit the bill. Even the kids liked it. I did need to add more garlic though, but overall was a hit. :)

So quick and easy and tasty! I did add some red bell pepper to it too.

4/15/08 I was looking for a new way of using Bok Choy, which was simple, fast and tasty. This was definitly it. I disagree with Chris's review, this is a very tasty recipe and I will cook this again. The only slight suggestion I would make is to use Lite Soy Sauce. For health reasons as well as taste, the soy sauce was just a tad strong. Thank you for posting.

I was looking for a bok choy recipe and thought I would give this a try. It was OK, and I might serve it again, but I've had better recipes. It was quick and easy, though, and that's a plus on a hot summer day!
