In a large cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Stir fry half of chicken to until golden brown , about 5 minutes. Add remaining chicken and continue to stir fry, adding 1/2 cup of water to deglaze pan and create a sauce. If sauce is too thick, add up to 1 cup of water. Stir fry until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Garnish chicken with balance of chopped scallions.
Meanwhile in a medium pot fitted with steaming basket, add just enough water until it almost touches the bottom of the basket and bring to a boil. Add bok choy (be sure bok choy is well washed as it tends to be sandy) and steam until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add bok choy to the chicken and serve over steamed rice.
