Chicken Bok Choy & Beach Mushrooms
Chicken Bok Choy & Beach Mushrooms
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice (180 grams)
- ½ tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 24 oz Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breast cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- ¼ Red Onion diced, (about ¼ medium onion, or 65 grams)
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic diced, (about 15 grams)
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, Lite
- 2 heads Baby Bok Choy quartered, (about 300 grams)
- 2 cups Beach Mushrooms trimmed and separated diced, (about 270 grams)
- 3 stalks Scallions diced, (about 50 grams stalks)
- ½ tsp Sesame Seeds
- ½ Lemon quartered
Instructions:
- Cook the rice by, bringing 2 cup of water to boil. Once the water is boiling, add the rice, cover with a lid, and turn heat down to low. Simmer for 20 minutes then remove from heat. Keep covered for an additional 10 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking cut your chicken breast and season with black pepper and garlic powder.
- Once the rice has been cooking for about 10 minutes begin cooking the chicken.
- Heat a medium saute pan to medium high heat. Add oil to the hot pan then immediately add the chopped chicken, red onions, and garlic to the pan. Spread the chicken around into one even layer covering the bottom of the pan. Allow to cook for 5-6 minutes, then toss the chicken. Spread evenly again and allow to cook for another 4-5 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook fully and become a little brown.
- After the chicken has cooked, remove the chicken from the pan.
- Then in that same pan add the soy sauce and the quartered baby bok choy. Place the cut sides of the bok choy down in the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then flip to the other cut side and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan with the bok choy. Season with a little black pepper, garlic powder, and half of the scallions. Cook tossing often for 3 minutes. Just enough for the mushrooms to soak up some of soy sauce and get a little softer.
- By now the rice should be done. In the pot season the rice with the remaining green onions, then fluff with a fork.
- Plate by first scooping the rice onto a plate, then on one side of the rice plate your cooked chicken, on the other side top the rice with the bok choy and mushrooms. Season everything with a little sesame seed.
- Serve with a fresh lemon quarter. Or portion out into your meal prep containers to enjoy later.
