Ginger Chicken Thigh Stir-Fry with Bok Choy, Mushrooms & Carrots

This fast stovetop stir-fry leans into cool-weather spring produce that still shines in Washington in March: bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, and ginger with tender chicken thighs over fluffy rice or potatoes if you have them at home.

Ingredients

  • Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Thighs 1 lb $4.49/lb
  • Bok Choy 1 lb $2.77/lb sale
  • Kroger Whole Baby Bella Mushrooms 8 oz $3.19
  • Carrots 1/2 lb $1.29/lb
  • Fresh Peeled Ginger Bag 1 tablespoon $3.99
  • Green Onions 1 bunch $1.29
  • Kroger Yellow Onion 3 lb Bag 1/2 lb $2.29
  • Simple Truth Organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth 1/2 cup $1.79 sale
  • Pantry soy sauce, oil, cornstarch or flour, and cooked rice as needed pantry

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs ($4.49/lb) by slicing into thin strips. Slice 1/2 pound yellow onion from the 3 pound bag ($2.29), peel and thinly slice 1/2 pound carrots ($1.29/lb), slice 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms ($3.19) if needed, chop 1 pound bok choy ($2.77/lb sale) separating stems and leaves, mince 1 tablespoon peeled ginger from the bag ($3.99), and slice 1 bunch green onions ($1.29).
  2. In a bowl, toss the 1 pound sliced chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cornstarch or flour from the pantry. Let stand while you heat the pan.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound chicken thighs and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
  4. Add another teaspoon oil if needed, then stir-fry the 1/2 pound sliced onion, 1/2 pound carrots, and the bok choy stems for 3 minutes. Add the 8 ounces mushrooms and 1 tablespoon minced ginger and cook 2 minutes more.
  5. Return the cooked 1 pound chicken to the skillet. Add the bok choy leaves, 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth ($1.79 sale carton), and 2 tablespoons soy sauce from the pantry. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes until the greens wilt and the sauce lightly coats everything.
  6. Finish with the 1 bunch sliced green onions. Taste and add pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice if you like. Serve over cooked rice from the pantry, or over simple boiled potatoes if that is what you have on hand.
  7. Pour Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir if serving wine.

Cook time: 30 minutes

Estimated cost: $12-15

Health notes: About 500-650 calories per serving depending on starch. Rich in protein and packed with vegetables. Bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, and green onions keep this meal nutrient-dense and colorful.

Drink pairing: Sauvignon Blanc is ideal for the ginger, greens, and savory sauce. If you prefer red, Pinot Noir is light enough not to overpower the dish.
