A quick and easy recipe for a delicious Black Pepper Chicken Stir Fry Bowl. Perfect for busy weeknights!

  • Total Time: 30

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, to serve

Instructions

  • Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced chicken to the pan, cooking until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally for even cooking.
  • Once the chicken is done, add the garlic and ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
  • In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and black pepper (and cornstarch if using). Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggies, and stir until everything is well coated.
  • Cook for an additional minute to heat through and thicken the sauce slightly. If you like it spicier, throw in more black pepper!
  • Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds.
