Chicken with Broccoli and Bok Choy

Stir fry is the ultimate quick and easy weeknight meal. The prep is easy, it cooks quickly, and you can change up the ingredients based on what you are craving or what you have on hand.  This stir fry uses chicken, broccoli, and bok choy and the sauce is a mixture of sweet and spicy. Bok choy is one of my favorite vegetables to use in a stir fry. You get crunchy and leafy in one veg, and the flavor is just slightly bitter. The steps to a stir fry are simple - marinate meat, cook, add veggies, add sauce, simmer, serve. This recipe would also work well with shrimp, beef, or even tofu.  Chicken with Broccoli and Bok Choy
