Ingredients
- 1 chicken thigh, skin-on
- 1 small bok choy, chopped
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1/4 onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce (look for a low-sugar option)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A squeeze of orange juice for brightness
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken, skin side down. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Sauté the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, in a separate pan, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the julienned carrot and chopped bok choy, cooking until the bok choy is wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
- Combine Flavors: Drizzle the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together for another minute.
- Finish the Chicken: Once the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F), remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve: On a plate, arrange the sautéed vegetables. Slice the chicken thigh and lay it on top. Drizzle with a squeeze of fresh orange juice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and pine nuts for added crunch.
