🍗🍄 Black Pepper Chicken with Mushrooms 🍄🍗
Ingredients:
1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional, for color)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms (button, cremini, or shiitake), sliced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup water or chicken broth
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), and 1/4 cup water or broth. Set aside.
Stir-Fry the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes until slightly soft. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until mushrooms are tender and onions are translucent.
Combine and Season: Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
