Ingredients

– 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground
– 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red or green)
– ½ cup green onions, chopped
– Salt to taste
– Cooked rice or noodles, for serving


Instructions

Creating Black Pepper Chicken is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated. This step helps to create a crispy texture when cooked.

2. Heat the Oils: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add the coated chicken to the hot skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

5. Mix in Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

6. Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and black pepper, stirring well to coat all ingredients. Cook together for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

7. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve over cooked rice or toss with noodles for a complete meal.

With these easy-to-follow steps, you’ll have a delicious Black Pepper Chicken ready to delight your taste buds.
