Easy to cook and delicious Black Pepper Chicken.

Black Pepper Chicken is a popular dish in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese cuisine. It's a savory and spicy dish made with tender chicken breast/thigh pieces that are seasoned with a blend of spices and coated with a thick, flavorful black pepper sauce. The sauce for Black Pepper Chicken typically includes black pepper, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sometimes sugar or honey for a touch of sweetness. The sauce is usually thickened with cornstarch or flour to give it a smooth, velvety texture. The sauce can be poured over the cooked chicken and stirred until the chicken is fully coated with the sauce, or you can cook the chicken and the sauce all together. Black Pepper Chicken is typically served over steamed rice or noodles, and it can be garnished with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, or chopped coriander for added flavor and visual appeal.
