A delicious and savory Black Pepper Chicken recipe that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup sliced onion
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes during the stir-fry.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
