What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • The sauce requires just a few ingredients and is perfectly savory and delicious. Mix up the sauce in the last step of this recipe, then simmer with the chicken and veggies for a dish that is exploding with flavor!
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes for a quick and nutritious dinner! Serve this chicken chop suey on its own for an easy, though delicious low-carb meal.
  • The onions, celery, carrots, and bean sprouts are quickly fried to maintain much of their delightful crunch. Then hearty chicken and a smooth brown sauce round out the irresistible textures in this recipe.

Key Ingredients

Chicken Breast – 1 to 2 pounds of boneless and skinless chicken breast is all you’ll need for this recipe. Slice it into thin 1/4-inch chunks before using it in this dish.

Bean Sprouts – Bean sprouts are signature to all chicken chop suey recipes. The sprouts give it an incredible crunch and bring a touch of lightness to this recipe. However, be careful to not overcook the bean sprouts.Cook them for just one minute with the rest of the veggies.

Oyster Sauce – Oyster sauce is another traditional component to this dish. However, if you don’t have oyster sauce you can use fish sauce instead or leave it out.

Chef’s Tips

  • Serve this chicken chop suey however you’d like! Enjoy it over rice, noodles, cauliflower rice, or entirely on its own.
  • Feel free to add extra veggies to this dish if you’d like. Chopped bell pepper, broccoli, edamame, baby corn, and cauliflower would all make delicious additions!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave or over medium heat on the stove until warmed throughout.
