Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large microwave-safe casserole dish.
  2. Add the sliced celery, thinly sliced onion, soy sauce, minced ginger, and pepper to the dish with the chicken.
  3. Toss all ingredients together to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the soy sauce mixture.
  4. Cover the dish and microwave on HIGH (100%) for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring twice during cooking, until the chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.
  5. While the chicken cooks, whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the casserole dish with the cooked chicken and vegetables.
  7. Stir in the chicken broth, fresh bean sprouts, drained water chestnuts, drained bamboo shoots, and sliced mushrooms.
  8. Microwave uncovered on HIGH (100%) for 15 to 19 minutes, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and become translucent.
  9. Serve the hot chop suey immediately over steamed rice.
  10. Sprinkle with roasted cashews just before serving for added crunch and flavor.
