Instructions
Sautéing the Chicken:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook until they are lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
Stir-Frying the Vegetables:
In the same skillet or wok, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the bell pepper, carrots, broccoli, snap peas, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Creating the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and stir to coat them evenly.
Simmering and Thickening the Sauce:
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Gradually pour the cornstarch-water mixture into the skillet while stirring continuously.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Incorporating the Chicken:
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss it with the vegetables and sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
Serving the Chicken Chop Suey:
Serve the chicken chop suey over cooked rice or noodles, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for an extra burst of freshness and color.
