Instructions
Making Black Pepper Chicken can be quite straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and cut the chicken, vegetables, and garlic as needed.
2. Heat Oil: In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Vegetables: Mix in the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they’re tender but still crisp.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, and add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, black pepper, sugar, and salt. Toss everything gently to combine.
7. Finish Cooking: Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and coated with the sauce.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top before removing the pan from the heat.
