Ingredients
500 grams boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup water
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
2 spring onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
Sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the chicken and stir well to coat evenly.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and salt to the skillet, stirring to combine all ingredients.
Pour in the water and stir, then cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the sliced green and red bell peppers to the skillet, stir, and cook uncovered for another 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Sprinkle the chopped spring onions over the dish, give it a final stir, and remove from heat.
Serve the Black Pepper Chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles.
