Ingredients

1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (preferably shiitake or cremini)

3 tablespoons black pepper (freshly cracked for best flavor)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the bell peppers are crisp-tender.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add the freshly cracked black pepper, and stir everything together to combine well, adjusting seasoning if necessary.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the black pepper to infuse the dish.

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot over a bed of cooked jasmine rice.
