Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the bell peppers into small pieces and slice the onion thinly. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set all vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, diced bell peppers, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.

  5. 7

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Remove from heat and serve the pepper chicken with onion hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
