Oven Baked Chicken Breast Soup with Bok Choy

This is an attractive and tasty chicken soup recipe. A simple chicken bouillon is used in this homemade chicken soup and the bok choy adds color as well as flavor and nutrition. As you can see in our photo, you can arrange this soup so it has a distinctive Asian look to it.

If you want to use oven baked chicken breast to make a baked boneless chicken breast recipe instead of using a whole chicken that is fine. Make sure you remove the chicken breast from the oven as soon as it is cooked so it does not dry out. Chicken breast is not fatty and can dry out if you cook it for a few minutes too long. You can also use duck instead of chicken with this recipe if you wish. Spinach also makes a nice substitute for the bok choy if you do not have any on hand.

To make this recipe simpler, you can use leftover chicken or purchase roasted chicken. Slice the chicken breast into thick slices and fit them into individual bowls to achieve the look we used. Garnish it with sliced scallions to complete the look. This soup makes an excellent lunch or dinner. It is full of flavor and filling. You can also serve small bowls of this soup as an appetizer, especially when you are serving Asian inspired dishes. The small bowls would be full of broth, with a slice of chicken or two and a few leaves of bok choy.

Ingredients -

1 chicken, cut into 6 pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 handfuls bok choy or baby spinach
6 cups chicken or vegetable bouillon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Rinse the chicken in water and coat each piece with olive oil.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over each piece and put the chicken in a baking dish.

Bake uncovered for 1 ½ hours. The skin should be golden brown.

The chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part is 170 degrees F (180 degrees F for thighs).

Pierce the chicken at the thickest part.

If the juice runs clear, it is done.

Meanwhile, simmer the bok choy in the bouillon for a couple of minutes.

Add the lemon juice and season if necessary. Add the chicken pieces and serve.

This is a simple meal to make. It could easily be made with leftover baked chicken. A simple broth is used to lightly cook the bok choy. The sliced chicken is added to the dish and you sprinkle on a light garnish of chopped scallions. It is really delicious. This makes a wonderful lunch or light dinner. Spinach can be substituted for the bok choy if you prefer. This can stand on its own or you can serve it with bread or crackers.
