  4. Add in the mushrooms and bok choy during the last 5 min of cooking. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken breasts and dice the meat. Place the chicken in a microwave safe bowl or possibly container and heat in the microwave 1 to 2 min to hot.
  5. Place the chicken into the bottom of a serving bowl and ladle the soup over the top.
