Black Pepper Chicken with Mushrooms Recipe

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
¼ cup water
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Green onions for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions:

Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Toss with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet. Cook the onion and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions, if desired. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
