Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
