chop

An object that's been cut into small pieces is chopped.

When we cook, "chopped" is often used to describe how we've prepared ingredients. For example, if you're making a salad and you've taken an onion and cut it up into tiny bits, you can say that the onion is chopped. It means the food has been cut into little pieces so it's easier to eat or mix with other things. We also use "chopped" for meat when we're talking about cutting it finely, like in a stir-fry.
