Preparation

Combine coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce and lemongrass in a medium saucepan.
Simmer over low heat 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a large safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine chicken and half the oil. Sprinkle with the salt and cayenne. Toss to coat.
Add chicken to skillet, in batches, and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer to a large Dutch oven and cover to keep warm.
Wipe out skillet.
Add remaining oil to skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add bok choy and cook 2 to 3 minutes to wilt.
Add vegetables to Dutch oven with chicken. Strain coconut milk mixture into Dutch oven to cover chicken and veggie mixture. Discard lemongrass.
Heat over medium-high heat, stirring gently, until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in the scallions, basil and cilantro.
Remove from heat, ladle into serving bowls and serve.
