Enjoy a flavorful and easy-to-make Black Pepper Chicken, combining spicy black pepper, soy sauce, and crisp vegetables for a delicious meal in 35 minutes.
Marinate the chicken slices in a mixture of soy sauce and black pepper for at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches, cooking until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the bell pepper and onion, cooking until just tender.
Return the chicken to the pan, adding chicken broth, sugar, and an extra splash of soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Pound the chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
• Use a heavy hand with the black pepper for a bold flavor.
• Marinate the chicken briefly in soy sauce and pepper to infuse more flavor.
• Cook the vegetables just until they're crisp-tender to retain their texture.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing to keep it juicy.
