Print Recipe

Moo Goo Gai Pan is a delicious stir-fry that combines tender chicken with fresh vegetables in a savory, silky sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 breasts)
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms (button or shiitake), sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and utensils. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt. Stir-fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan; sauté until fragrant (around 1 minute).
  4. Add sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, and snow peas to the pan; stir-fry until veggies are bright and tender (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch mixed with broth, sugar, and sesame oil until smooth. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Keywords: For a vegetarian option, swap chicken for tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth. Feel free to add additional vegetables such as broccoli or carrots for more variety.
