A delicious and easy-to-make Black Pepper Chicken with Mushrooms recipe, perfect for a quick dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the black pepper, sugar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the black pepper chicken over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños to the skillet.
- You can substitute the chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
