How to Make Thai Lime Chicken With Bok Choy

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook chicken (about 1 lb, cut into 1-inch pieces) in batches until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, in a screw-top jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 4 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1-2 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Steam or microwave 1 bunch bok choy until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain well.
  5. Add 4 lime slices to the same frying pan and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
  6. Add the prepared dressing and half of 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to the pan. Deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the dressing.
  8. Divide chicken among serving plates. Top with remaining red onion and cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately with bok choy, lime wedges, and jasmine rice.
