Description

A flavorful and aromatic Chinese-inspired black pepper chicken stir-fry recipe that is quick and easy to make. Tender pieces of marinated chicken are cooked with colorful bell peppers in a savory black pepper sauce, perfect for serving over steamed rice.


Ingredients

Scale

Marinated Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Stir-Fry:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Stir-Fry: Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned. Remove chicken and set aside. Stir-fry bell peppers, onion, and garlic until tender-crisp. Return chicken to the pan, add black pepper, sugar, and chicken broth. Cook until sauce thickens.
  3. Serve: Garnish with green onions and serve hot over rice.

Notes

  • Adjust black pepper to taste.
  • For a thicker sauce, double the broth and use a cornstarch slurry.
  • Pair with jasmine or brown rice.
