Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Slice into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium Bell peppers Any colors you like
  • 1 medium Onion Sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic Freshly minced
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce Adds umami flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Black pepper Adjust to spice preference
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For sautéing
  • 2 cups Rice Serve alongside the chicken

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the chicken, peppers, and onions into bite-sized pieces, ensuring everything is ready for quick cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season with black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  2. To the skillet, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
  3. Drizzle in the soy sauce, mixing well to coat the chicken and veggies. Let it cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve the Black Pepper Chicken over a warm bed of rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Notes

Feel free to swap out peppers or use another protein like tofu for a vegetarian twist. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
