Description
A savory and flavorful stir-fry featuring tender chicken pieces and earthy mushrooms, all coated in a rich black pepper sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms (such as shiitake or button), sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with cornstarch, salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together to ensure the chicken and vegetables are well-coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
