Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in chicken thighs dry. Season with 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1 tbsp minced ginger. Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear chicken skin-side down for 8 minutes until golden.
  2. Step 2: Flip chicken, add 2 minced garlic cloves, and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos and 1 tbsp water, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Step 3: Simmer covered for 20 minutes, then add 2 chopped bok choy heads. Cook uncovered for 5 more minutes until chicken is cooked through and bok choy is tender.
