Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 2 teaspoons cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce (additional, for sauce)
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (additional, for sauce)
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
– Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine thinly sliced chicken breasts with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Toss until the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken slices and stir-fry until they are cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then add the thinly sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add freshly ground black pepper, additional soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Drizzle sesame oil over the chicken and vegetable mixture and toss to coat evenly.
6. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Once the chicken and vegetables are well coated and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.
8. Serve the black pepper chicken stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.
9. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
