Chicken and Bok Choy Stir Fry

Bok Choy and Chicken Stir Fry

Last week Kyle and I joined a CSA (community shared agriculture) at a local farm here in Delaware. I spent a few weeks researching different options, e-mailing them with questions, and finally decided on one (more on the specifics later this week!). We had our first pickup last Saturday and I can’t even tell you how excited I was to go pick it up!

We received romaine lettuce, fennel, garlic, red and purple potatoes, collard greens, swiss chard, shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, leeks, pink lady apples, brussels sprouts, dill, and mint. Isn’t that awesome? I had so much fun all week coming up with different ways to use everything. You can expect to see recipes using lots of different veggies throughout the season. 

First up, is this delicious chicken and bok choy stir-fry.

Chicken and Bok Choy Stir FryAfter I made this and tasted it, I knew I wanted to share it on the blog. I stared at it for a while debating whether or not to do it because I didn’t think it was the prettiest looking dish. I rearranged it a bit and tried to make look as pretty as possible, but I’m not thrilled with the photos. However, it tastes so good that I really wanted to share it with you all!

Stir-frying is such a great technique because you can cook a great, healthy meal really fast. Prepping ahead of time is a must for stir-frying since it comes together so quick, you want all your ingredients ready to go. I like to marinate the chicken for a bit before I start – this helps infuse the flavors of the sauce and makes the cooking part really easy. You just cook the chicken and it’s already in it’s own sauce. Then, stir-fry the mushrooms and bok choy, toss it all together and serve it over rice. Don’t forget to top it with cashews for extra crunch!

Chicken Bok ChoyI love how fresh this stir-fry tastes – it’s simplicity at its best! Such a great way to use my CSA goodies. I can’t wait to share more recipes with you using my weekly bag of produce!

      Thank you, Gayle! I’m a huge stir-fry fan too. The cashews make this one in my opinion – I’m obsessed with the crunch they give!

    A CSA has always sounded so fun! But since Shawn and I are going a little nuts this year with the garden, I think we’ll have plenty of fresh produce on hand. I bet it’s also a fun challenge to think up meals to use up the ingredients. This stir fry sounds delicious!

      Yes, in a few months you’re going to be overrun with produce! Since we live temporarily live in an apartment, I can’t have a garden πŸ™ I still get to do a little with my dad when I’m home visiting, but it’s just not the same! So, the CSA was the next best thing and so far it’s awesome. I’m having so much fun coming up with meals!

    Ah I miss my CSA box! But it has forced me to go to the farmer’s market more, so that’s a plus. This looks delish- the crunch of the cashews sounds perfect to go with this stir-fry.
