Black Pepper Chicken Recipe

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.

Yes, I do! Capsicum always go well with black pepper.
Yes, you are right, black pepper does go well with capsicum.
Maggi sauce is my magic sauce!
Tuty – LOL. Yes, it is. :)
Black pepper sauce!! I like anything that comes with black pepper sauce. Love your recipe, simple yet sumptuous! Maggi seasoning… We Malaysians love Maggi seasoning!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Ellie – yes, it’s very simple. Easy and good.
Delicious! love, love, LOVE it! Im making this for dinner!
Alisa – awesome. Let me know how it goes.
Interesting post.!!
Thank you, Martine.
My mother and my gradmother used Maggi seasoning… and I do. maggi comes from france do you know? and maggi seasonning was created in 1901!
Your sauce with black pepper seems delicious! I’ll try… after holiday!
Dominique – I didn’t know that Maggi comes from France. It’s awesome!
Yeah.. I didn’t know until a few years ago when my other half told me so. Bata is also from France. :)
The taste of maggi sauce is far away from French though…but maybe that’s made for Asian cooking!
What is maggi seasoning?
Hi Barb,
This is Maggi seasoning: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J401J2
I do love black pepper, and your chicken looks incredible! Sounds great with bell pepper too.
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”.
Hi,
what maggi sauce you used, may I know? Thank you :)
It’s Maggi seasoning sauce.
easy and easy to cook!
yummy
Correct, easy to cook and tasty.
is there something else i can use to replace maggi seasoning?
Niki – you can try oyster sauce. If not, you can skip it. Maggi seasoning just gives it an extra and slightly different flavor.
I tried this last night, and wow was it amazing!!! I love the fragrance of the onions and green peppers!! And the chicken had the perfect amount of pepper!! Even though my chicken wasn’t that pretty color of brown like in the picture, it still tasted awesome!
That’s great that you love this black pepper chicken recipe! :)
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.
wow.. actually i really don’t have the interest to cook but since i’ve search a recipe for our laboratory, gosh….. nagkaron na ako ng interest and i found it hard at first but i practiced until i think na perfect na kasi ang sarap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^^ sabRoSo!!!!!!!!!!!!
kalau ada yg baru e mail kat saya
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!
Jules – awesome. I am glad it works for you, yes, Maggi will perk up the taste of the black pepper chicken recipe. :)
Use Chicken boillon cube from shoppers, giant or any regular grocery store. It should be next to the soup and chicken broth. Same effect.
hi, I will try to cook this, today, looks very easy but yummy
Don’t know how I got onto your website but I had black pepper beef in Singapore a few years back and tried this one. I loved it and it probably won’t be the last recipe from your website I’ll try.
