This is the fourth dish I made out of the whole chicken I butchered that I bought for only $7.99. Get the recipe for my Homemade Chicken Broth to learn how to cut the chicken into pieces and make several dishes out of that one whole chicken. This is a very simple dish, ideal during busy weeknights, and if you’re meal prepping, you’re going to love adding this dish to your menu. The ingredients are mostly what you already have in your pantry or fridge. You can substitute bok choy for broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or any green leafy vegetables. You can serve it with steamed rice which is very filling and a little goes a long way (another way to budget for your grocery shopping).

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do and naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
