Black Pepper
This black pepper chicken is inspired from my love for black pepper, and how much I love it in my Asian stir-fries.
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. How can you not love black pepper?
Moving on, it was clear there was a dish I just had to try next.

I was wondering what to do with three bell peppers, though I did chop them a different way it still came out yummy! And best of all I had all those things in my pantry! :D So tonight on a cold autumn night I sat down to some black pepper chicken and peppers with glass of white wine.

My family loves this recipe! We double it (triple for some ingredients) to feed my family of 3 and have enough for a leftover lunch. We don’t have Maggi seasoning so don’t use it and it’s still delicious. One of my favorites – easy and delicious!
