Notes

To take your Black Pepper Chicken to the next level, consider these helpful tips:

Opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the most tender and flavorful results. Breast meat can also be used, but thighs tend to have a richer flavor and stay juicier.

Adjust the amount of black pepper to suit your spice preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if you want an extra kick.

Cook the onions and bell peppers until they’re just slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes. This preserves their crisp texture and prevents them from becoming too soft.
