In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with soy sauce and cornstarch, mixing well to coat. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with black pepper and salt, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot over cooked rice if desired.
