Ingredients
1/2 lb chicken breast2 tsp corn starch2 tsp soy sauce (low sodium)1 tsp sugar1 1/2 pounds chinese greens (bok choy) I just use one large bundle1 Tbs Canola Oil (I use the spray but it seem about this amt or less)1 tsp Better than bouillon low sodium chicken 1/2 C soup stock (chicken)2 tsp corn starch dissolved in 1 Tbs water
Directions
Slice chicken 1/4 inch thick against the grain. Marinate chicken in cornstarch 2 tsp, soy sauce, and sugar.

Cut bok choy in 1/2 inch diagonal slices

Spray pan with Canola oil and stir fry chicken on high heat until done; remove from pan and set aside.

Spray pan with Canola oil and stir fry bok choy on high heat for 1/2 min. Add soup stock, salt, cover bring to boil and steam for 1 min. (I also add to the soup stock before I add the greens just a touch of chicken low sodium better than bouillon to give it a more bold chicken flavor).

Return chicken to wok and mix, add enough cornstarch mixture (2 tsp with 1 Tbs water) to thicken. Can be eaten with noodles or rice but I prefer it plain. If eaten with rice or pan fried noodles the # of servings for the chicken and greens part would be 4 instead of 2. (and the calories would need to be adjusted to include the noodles or rice).

** note sometimes when I want more sauce I add in extra chicken broth (1/4 c).

    I doubled this recipe, and added a tablespoon of Hoisin Sauce and about a teaspoon of Hot Chili Oil - got thumbs up from my husband and son. We have a beautiful crop of Bok Choi in the garden - will be having this again! - 7/13/10
