Chicken Chop Suey: Amazing Flavor Made Convenient
It’s hard to beat a good stir fry, fresh veggies and your favorite protein in a flavorful sauce hits the spot when you’re looking for a meal that’s as tasty as it is convenient. We love it, and that’s why we’re excited to bring you a deliciously Halal Chicken Chop Suey this week that hits all the right notes that make this dish a worldwide favorite!
Preparing for Success
Chop suey is meant to be made with “odds and ends”, all the extra things you may have taking up space in your fridge, all mixed and fried together for a simple and tasty meal. In that spirit, we used a mix of a few simple veggies, carrot, celery, and mushrooms, with some bok choy for some more fresh flavor, and added authenticity to the dish. This is a great excuse to use those leftover veggies you have lying around and need to use, just chop them up now to toss them into a pot or wok later.
Fresh veggies are always made better when paired with your favorite tender and juicy chicken. Luckily, we sell quality Halal chicken that’s perfect for any recipe and you can find it here, what a coincidence! This just needs chopped into pieces before getting mixed into a marinade and set aside for a little bit.
No need to worry about doing it overnight or early in the day for dinner, just mix up the marinade and the chicken until it’s nice and coated, finish the rest of the prep, mix together your sauce, and you’re ready to get cooking.
It’s All Coming Together
We started by pan frying our chicken until each piece was golden brown and had a crispy crust on the outside. If you have a wok then absolutely use it, otherwise we recommend using a large pot to cook everything in. We started with a pan and needed to transfer over to a pot when we started on the veggies, this was a simple fix but we lost out on some great chicken flavor from the pan!
As with any stir fry, there isn’t much to the cooking aside from simmering everything together in the sauce so all the flavors can come together. The denser veggies like carrots and celery should go in earlier to start to soften, followed by the softer ones like the bok choy leaf and snow peas so they don’t over cook and get too soft.
When the sauce has thickened a bit and everything is evenly coated in its great flavor, you’re ready to serve this up with some rice and it tastes amazing paired with Kaiser Spring rolls that you can find here.
A Simple Recipe For A Complex Meal
That’s all there is to it for this recipe. A few veggies, Halal chicken, and a simple sauce coming together in a pot for an amazingly tasty meal. It’s a flavorfully complex meal with a mix of great textures to go along with it for a recipe that does everything we love about cooking. Keep this recipe in mind next time you’re craving something fresh and flavorful, and don’t forget to share it with someone else that would appreciate it while you’re at it.
