Prepare the Chicken:
Begin by thoroughly washing the chicken breast fillet and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with a squeeze of lime juice and let it sit for about 5 minutes to marinate. This step not only enhances the flavor but also tenderizes the chicken. -
Sauté the Aromatics:
While the chicken is marinating, slice the garlic, shallots, and green onions thinly. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic, shallots, and green onions to the pan. Sauté the mixture until it becomes fragrant and the shallots turn translucent. -
Cook the Chicken:
Add the marinated chicken breast fillet to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and begins to brown slightly. -
Prepare the Soup:
Pour approximately 1 liter of water into the pan with the chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to cook until the flavors meld together and the chicken is fully cooked. -
Season the Soup:
Season the soup with salt, sugar, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. -
Add Vegetables:
While the soup is simmering, cut the oyong and bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and cook until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch. -
Serve:
Once the vegetables are cooked and the flavors are balanced, your Oyong Chicken Soup is ready to be served. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it hot. This comforting and flavorful soup is perfect as a light meal or a warm appetizer.
Enjoy your homemade Oyong Chicken Soup!
