1-scoop coconut oil

1-glug EVOO

1-leek sliced on bias

1-head bok choi sliced on bias

1-shallot diced

1-small container chicken bone broth

1-lime

1-lemon

Hearty pinch of salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, and a dash of cayenne

Turn heat to high, add EVOO and chicken. Sauté until chicken is white on outside (5 minutes).
