Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Stir well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In the same pan, add the marinated chicken along with the marinade. Cook over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan with the chicken and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
