Do you love black pepper? I do.
Think black pepper crab, black pepper beef (served on a sizzling hot plate!), and black pepper in the many concoctions that ultimately add depth and awesomeness to the dish. Don’t you just love black pepper?
I made black pepper chicken for dinner last night. It was a very spontaneous recipe. I had a chicken breast, a bag of onions, and a green bell pepper. Then, I thought about black pepper chicken. Though not as sinfully delicious as black pepper beef, it was still wonderful…(get black pepper chicken recipe after the jump)
The caramelized onions lend a natural sweetness to this black pepper chicken dish, and help tone down the heat from the black pepper. Black pepper chicken goes extremely well with rice, or even tortilla.
Below is my black pepper chicken recipe, a painless 30-minute meal that anyone can do. If you have a sizzling hot plate like the ones at restaurant, feel free to serve it on the hot plate for extra sizzles!
Ingredients:
1 skinless and boneless chicken breast, about 8 oz. (cut into thin strips)
1 onion (sliced)
1 green bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (use 1 tablespoon to marinate the chicken)
1 teaspoon freshly milled black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon Maggi seasoning
2 tablespoons oil
Method:
Marinate the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for 10 minutes.
Heat up a wok and add cooking oil. When the cooking oil is hot, add the sliced onions and quickly stir-fry until aromatic and follow by the bell pepper and black pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute and add in the chicken strips. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken is cooked. Add in soy sauce, Maggi sauce, sugar, and continue to stir-fry until the onions are caramelized. Dish out and serve hot.

The taste of maggi sauce is far away from French though…but maybe that’s made for Asian cooking!

I just made this tonight, simple but very yummy :) It is reminiscent of the Malay roadside burgers cos of the Maggi seasoning. It’s so funny, in NZ, Maggi is pronounced “May-gee”.

Niki – you can try oyster sauce. If not, you can skip it. Maggi seasoning just gives it an extra and slightly different flavor.

I just made this last night with the boneless skinless free range chicken breasts from Grass Fed Farms – wow, incredible! Thanks for this cool recipe – although finding Maggi sauce in my area was quite a feat, I finally found it at a specialty grocer, but none of the supermarkets had it.

I did this last night. It was absolutely painless to make and tasted so delicious despite no maggi seasoning. However I will get one for the sake of perfecting the dish. BRAVO!
