Marinate the Chicken Thighs

  3. Pour the dressing over the bok choy mixture and toss until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Skewer and Grill the Chicken Thighs

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, thread the marinated chicken thighs onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
  2. Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has charred grill marks.

  1. Serve the grilled chicken thigh skewers alongside the bok choy slaw and cooked rice.
  2. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and green onions, if desired.
