Equipment
- Pan
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breasts or thighs boneless, skinless
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper freshly ground
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger fresh, grated
- to taste Salt
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by slicing your chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the onion. Fresh ingredients are key to enhancing the dish’s overall flavor.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the pan. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and fully cooked through.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Add freshly ground black pepper and stir to coat the chicken with the peppery goodness.
- Let the sauce thicken for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. Serve the black pepper chicken with your favorite side dishes like rice, noodles, or vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for an extra pop of color and freshness.
