Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
1 large green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
3/4 cup boiling water

2 cups bok choy, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
2 teaspoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

1 Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in centers, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
