Chicken with Bok Choy
Bok Choy or Pak Choy is a type of Chinese cabbage, which has been a part of Chinese cuisine for centuries. This vegetable is also known for its medicinal properties. Bok choy has grown popular and is used in American cuisines as well. Bok choy makes this chicken dish tasty as well healthy. Healthy usually means something that has just been boiled but in this recipe the addition of various sauces like soy and oyster sauce along with aromatic ingredients like garlic and ginger, uplifts the flavour of the dish. All you need is some fried rice or chow Mein and you are set for an amazing and healthy meal. You can also serve it with steamed rice.
