Instructions

Marinate The Chicken

  • In a large mixing bowl, add skinless chicken cut into bite-sized cubes.
  • Add soy sauce, salt, cornstarch, and black pepper to season the chicken.

Prepare The Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix chicken stock, soy sauce, and oyster sauce together.
  • Whisk in sugar, cornstarch, and black pepper to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Mix everything with a spoon and set aside the sauce.

Fry The Chicken

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil to it.
  • Place the marinated chicken pieces in the pan and cook each side for 3-4 minutes. Flip the chicken once one side is golden and cooked.
  • Remove the pieces from the pan and set them aside.

Stir-Fry Garlic, Ginger, and Veggies

  • Add minced garlic and minced ginger to the same skillet and saute over medium-high heat.
  • Add cubed onions, red bell peppers, and green bell peppers.
  • Stir-fry the veggies for a few minutes until they are tender and crisp.

Mix, Simmer, and Serve!

  • Add the chicken pieces back into the skillet with the vegetables and give them a good mix.
  • Pour in the sauce you prepared earlier and add salt to taste.
  • Stir well to coat everything and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken.
  • Once it’s ready, serve up the tasty black pepper chicken with some rice or noodles.
