Description
A delicious and easy recipe for homemade chicken chop suey, featuring tender chicken and a variety of colorful vegetables in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Add a splash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or include additional vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition.
