Description
Chop suey is an Americanized Chinese dish that is popular for take-out, but it is actually quite simple to make at home. A mixture of vegetables, such as bell peppers, leeks, and bean sprouts, and chicken are dressed in a sweet and sour sauce. The sauce is thickened with cornstarch which helps it to coat each ingredient perfectly. Serve this stir-fry over rice for a filling and complete meal.

This is so good! I love chop suey and this is the best homemade recipe I have found. Absolutely delicious and easy to make. Most of the prep time is taken up by the time it takes to marinate the chicken....after that the prep and cooking time is quick. Thanks for sharing!
