  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken (thigh or breast)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 12 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • Optional: snap peas
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Marinate chicken with soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and black pepper for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat a skillet with oil and brown the chicken on each side.
  4. Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and snap peas to the skillet.
  5. Sprinkle in more soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and honey.
  6. Stir until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.

Notes

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken longer. Use low-sodium soy sauce if watching salt intake. Adding chopped green onions at the end can add a nice crunch.
