Black Pepper Chicken Slices

Black pepper chicken slices is a popular dish found in many Chinese restaurants in the United States. It is typically made with thinly sliced chicken breast that is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, and black pepper. The chicken is then stir-fried until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup rice wine

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 onion, thinly sliced

1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Set aside.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.

5. Stir the cornstarch mixture and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.

6. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Variations

You can add other vegetables to this dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or snow peas.

You can also add a bit of heat to the dish by adding a teaspoon or two of chili powder or red pepper flakes.

If you don't have rice wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.

Tips

For the best results, use thinly sliced chicken breast. This will help the chicken cook evenly and quickly.

Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

Cook the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming tough.

Stir the chicken constantly while cooking. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.

Serve the chicken immediately over rice or noodles. This will help to keep the chicken warm and juicy.
