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

  1. 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.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and pour the orange glaze over the cooked bok choy. Stir to coat the bok choy evenly.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
