  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the chicken into thin strips and preparing the mushrooms. Coarsely crush the black peppercorns for a more intense flavor and set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic until fragrant and mushrooms are tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, and freshly crushed black pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  5. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or vegetables and use vegetarian oyster sauce or additional soy sauce for flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed jasmine rice or fried rice, and can be complemented with stir-fried vegetables or a fresh cucumber salad.
