Stir-fry
In large wide skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir-fry until no longer pink inside, about four minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add carrots, celery root, broccoli, red onion, ginger, garlic and 1/4 cup water. Stir-fry until just tender, about four minutes.
Return chicken to pan; add red pepper and bok choy. Stir-fry until bok choy leaves wilt, two to three minutes. Add hoisin mixture; stir-fry until vegetables are coated and tender-crisp, two to three minutes.
