This recipe is based off of a recipe from my all time favorite food magazine, Everyday Food (Martha Stewart). I did not have bok choy, so I replaced it with some Costco frozen sauted veggies, and it was awesome. Those veggies surprise me everytime I use them, and of course they are lasting a really long time! Also, to my vegetarian friends: I think this recipe without the chicken would still be tasty becuase the sauce is so good. Give it a try and let me know!
