Several years ago, I created a very basic moo shu recipe using chicken instead of pork and a few items from the grocery store. All of my gal-pal friends like it because they were new moms searching for fast and flavorful meal options. If you want to add a little excitement to the meal then try versions 2 or 3 of the recipe.

Ingredients

Cost per serving $2.16 view details
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 16-ounce package shredded cabbage with carrots/coleslaw mix
  • 1 8-ounce package sliced mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small head of lettuce (washed and separated) or 8 6-inch flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Remove excess fat from chicken. Place chicken between two sheets of wax or parchment paper; pound to 1/4-inch thickness using the flat side of a meat tenderizer mallet, rolling pin or other tool of choice. Cut chicken into thin strips; season with salt and pepper. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat saucepan with cooking spray. Add chicken; cook 4-6 minutes, or until browned and almost cooked through. Remove from pan; set aside. Add cabbage, mushrooms and hoisin sauce; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook until cabbage is tender, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return chicken to pan; stir to combine. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Season to taste to salt and pepper. Serve by wrapping 2-3 tablespoons of Moo Shu Chicken in a lettuce leaf or flour tortilla.
