Ingredients
  

  • pieces 1 lb 450 g boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns coarsely crushed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece of ginger grated
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 2 green onions chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Add the chicken pieces and mix well. Let the chicken marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the crushed black peppercorns and stir-fry for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and spread it out into an even layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to sear and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Stir in the sliced onion and bell pepper, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions and serve the Black Pepper Chicken hot over cooked rice.
