Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1 tbsp oil. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the onion and bell pepper, cooking until slightly tender.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well.
