Prepare the Chicken

Start by tossing the chicken chunks with cornstarch and black pepper, ensuring a light coating on all sides. This will help create a delightful crispness on the exterior of the meat.

Cook the Chicken

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and sauté until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the pan and set it aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté the vegetables until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

Create the Sauce

Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, allowing the flavors to meld and create a delectable sauce. Then, return the cooked chicken to the pan and give everything a gentle toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Finish and Serve

Allow the dish to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and the flavors have fully integrated. Serve your Black Pepper Chicken and Mushrooms over a bed of fluffy rice or noodles, and enjoy the bold, peppery goodness!
