Instructions
-
1
**Season the Chicken:** Coat your 4 chicken thighs in olive oil and a portion of the seasoning blend (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, Accent, and chicken bouillon).
-
2
**Sear:** Sauté the chicken in a large pot on both sides until browned. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
-
3
**Sauté Initial Aromatics:** In the same pot, add your 2 chopped onions and 1 sliced jalapeño. Sauté until softened.
-
4
**The Veggie Dump:** Add the rest of your chopped vegetables (celery, carrots, Napa cabbage, leek, baby bok choys, and rainbow chard). **Do not add water or broth**.
-
5
**Simmer:** Season the vegetables with the remaining seasoning blend. Place the 4 seared chicken thighs (and any juices from the plate) on top of the vegetables.
-
6
**Cook:** Cover the pot with a **tight-fitting lid**. Let it cook on low-to-medium heat for about 30–40 minutes. The vegetables will release their own liquid to create a natural, "magic" broth.
-

**Add Final Aromatics:** About 10 minutes into the simmering process, stir in your 6 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger.

**The Finish:** Once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked, add the enoki mushrooms and wonton wraps. Let them cook for a few minutes until soft.
