– 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

– Salt to taste


Instructions

Creating Black Pepper Chicken with Mushrooms is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is browned on one side, then flip to cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5. Incorporate Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms have softened.

6. Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and add the black pepper. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

7. Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more black pepper or salt if necessary.

8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.

9. Serve Immediately: Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
