This Chicken Chop Suey is a quick and healthy stir-fry made with tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and a savory, silky sauce. Better than takeout and ready in just 30 minutes, this classic dish is perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 500g boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (plus extra for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup cabbage or bok choy, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken into thin strips and marinate briefly in soy sauce and cornstarch.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Stir-fry chicken until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.
  4. Add celery and carrots; stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add cabbage, bell pepper, and bean sprouts. Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in a sauce made of chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
  7. Simmer briefly until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for shrimp, beef, or tofu.
  • Use any vegetables you have on hand—mushrooms, zucchini, snow peas, or baby corn all work.
  • Add chili sauce for heat.
  • For low sodium, use reduced-salt soy sauce and broth.
  • Stir-fry quickly over high heat for crisp vegetables.
