Black Pepper Chicken with Mushrooms

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 piece onion (chopped)

2 cups sliced mushrooms

3 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 cup water

Directions

In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

In a large pan or skillet, add the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, add the onions and mushrooms. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Return the chicken to the pan and toss everything together until well combined. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Once everything is evenly coated and heated through, serve hot over rice or noodles.
