Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups bok choy, chopped For added crunch and nutrition
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced Use halal-certified chicken if preferred
  • 4 cups chicken broth Ensure it’s halal-certified
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Use alcohol-free soy sauce
  • 1 to taste Salt
  • 1 to taste Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping the bok choy, onion, and carrot while dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  2. Introduce the diced chicken into the pot, stirring it around until it’s evenly cooked - about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the sliced carrots and chopped bok choy. Stir everything together, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly - about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Carefully add the chicken broth into the mixture, followed by the soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Once the soup is simmering, season it with salt and pepper to your preference.
  6. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes. Once done, ladle it into bowls and enjoy while hot.

Notes

Substitutions: If you don’t have bok choy, feel free to use spinach or kale. Timing: Make sure not to overcook the bok choy—we want it to remain crisp! Avoid rushing the sautéing process for better flavor development.
