Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1/4 cup
- Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon
- Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon
- Garlic, minced
- 2 cloves
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup
- Fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup
- Bok choy, chopped
- 4 cups
- Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 (about 1 pound)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, and water to create the glaze. Set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
- Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped bok choy. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the bok choy is just wilted but still vibrant green.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the orange glaze over the cooked bok choy. Stir to coat the bok choy evenly.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the glaze over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and the chicken to reheat.
- Serve the bok choy and orange glazed chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
