Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger until well combined.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 boneless chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Pour the honey-soy mixture over the chicken in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze onto the chicken until it thickens and coats the meat with a shiny finish.
Step 4: Remove chicken and keep warm. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5: Add 2 cups quartered baby bok choy and 2 cups spinach, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until greens are wilted but still bright green.
Step 6: Season the greens with black pepper to taste and sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds over both chicken and greens before serving.
