Ingredients

Directions

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, cornstarch, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and ground ginger until smooth; set aside.
  3. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch wide strips.
  4. Heat peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  5. Add the chicken strips to the wok and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
  6. Add the chopped bok choy and red bell pepper squares to the wok along with 2 tablespoons of water.
  7. Cover the wok and steam the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until the bok choy is tender-crisp.
  8. Remove the lid and give the sauce mixture a quick stir, then pour it into the wok.
