Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly golden on both sides. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add a little oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry until slightly tender but still crunchy. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and mix well. Pour in the prepared black pepper sauce and mix. Cook over medium heat for about 30–60 seconds, until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the chicken and vegetables. Add a little more water if the sauce becomes too thick. Turn off the stove and garnish with freshly sliced green onion leaves. 💡 Tips • Cut the chicken into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly. • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. • Don't overcook chicken breast, or it can become dry. • Keep the vegetables slightly crunchy for the best texture. • Adjust the black pepper according to your taste. • Soy sauce and oyster sauce are already salty, so add salt only if needed. • The sauce should be glossy and thick enough to coat the chicken, not watery like gravy. • Add the cornstarch slurry gradually so you can control the thickness. Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or make a delicious Black Pepper Chicken Wrap.
