Ingredients

Servings

For Chicken

  • ½ pound chicken breast boneless and skinless, thinly sliced
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

For Chop Suey

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper sliced in strips
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables like carrots, snow peas, broccoli or baby corn, bite sized
  • ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons of water

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce until smooth. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the chicken turns opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet or wok, heat an additional tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir-frying until the onion becomes translucent, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the bell pepper and mixed vegetables. Continue stir-frying for 3-4 minutes. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well.
  5. Pour in ¼ cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons oyster sauce. Add 1 teaspoon sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything to combine.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually add the cornstarch-water mixture, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and serve with cooked rice.

Notes

  • Nutritional information does not include rice.
  • Customize the Veggies: Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on what you have on hand or your preferences. 
  • Thinly Slice Chicken: For the best texture and quick cooking, slice the chicken breast as thinly as possible.
  • Stir-Fry Quickly: Keep the ingredients moving in the pan for a crisp-tender texture in your veggies and to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Adjust Sauce to Taste: Don’t hesitate to tweak the sauce ingredients to suit your taste buds. More soy sauce for saltiness, sugar for sweetness, or water to thin it out.
