With its combination of crispy bok choy, tender chicken, and a delicious teriyaki sauce, this stir-fried dish is both quick and flavorful. It's ideal for a quick and healthy weeknight meal when you're pressed for time.

Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. 1 bunch of bok choy, cleaned and chopped. 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce. 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. 3 cloves of garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon of ginger, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. Cooked rice for serving.

Instructions: The chicken pieces should be marinated in teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes in a bowl. In a big skillet or wok, heat up one tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium-high heat.
