Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion (sliced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water
  • 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, cook chicken until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Stir-Fry: Sauté onion and bell peppers. Add garlic. Return chicken to the pan, add black pepper, brown sugar, vinegar, and broth. Simmer until sauce thickens.
  4. Serve: Garnish with green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Serve over white rice, brown rice, or noodles.
  • Adjust the black pepper to taste—freshly ground makes a big difference in flavor.
