Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds chicken breast cut into 2 inch pieces, boneless skinless
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 yellow onion coarsely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper coarsely chopped, large
  • 1 red bell pepper coarsely chopped, large

Black pepper sauce

  • 1 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Shaoxing wine
  • ¼ cup Chinkiang vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss your cubed chicken in the cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper. Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute your chicken until it is just cooked through. Remove your chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add your onion and bell peppers to the skillet, saute in the remaining oil and juices from the chicken until they begin to tenderize.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for sauce, taking care not to let the cornstarch clump together.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium low and add in your sauce mixture. Simmer until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Add your chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Saute everything together for a few minutes more until your sauce has reduced to the desired thickness.
