Black Pepper Chicken with Mushrooms

Ingredients

Two boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

Three cloves of garlic, minced

One green pepper, chopped

Two cups of mushrooms, sliced

One onion, sliced

One tablespoon of oyster sauce

Two tablespoons of soy sauce

Half a teaspoon of black pepper

One tablespoon of cornstarch

One teaspoon of salt

One teaspoon of sesame oil

Two tablespoons of vegetable oil

One-quarter cup of water

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken – Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Mix the Sauce – In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, cornstarch, salt, and water. Stir until well mixed.

Cook the Chicken – Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about five to seven minutes.

Add the Vegetables – Stir in the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Sauté for three to four minutes until fragrant and slightly tender.

Incorporate the Sauce – Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for another two to three minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.

Finish and Serve – Drizzle with sesame oil, stir once more, and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Tips for the Best Flavor

For extra spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or chili flakes.

Swap green pepper for red or yellow bell peppers for a sweeter taste.

Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a lighter, less salty flavor.

Pair this dish with jasmine rice or stir-fried noodles for a complete meal.
