Step-by-Step Instructions for Black Pepper Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine your chicken breasts (or thighs) with light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Let it marinate for about 10–15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, mix the sauce ingredients: dark soy sauce, sugar, chicken broth, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add peanut oil. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, searing it for about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until no longer pink. Transfer to a plate.
- Add more peanut oil to the skillet, then sauté minced ginger and garlic for about 30 seconds. Toss in the sliced onion and bell peppers, stir-frying for about 20 seconds.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes until thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly. Heat together for another minute and serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure the chicken marinates for at least 10-15 minutes to develop flavor. Customize veggies to your liking for a personal touch.
