Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by slicing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Cook the chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper. Let everything simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Combine chicken broth and cornstarch in a small bowl, then gradually pour into the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve your Black Pepper Chicken, garnished with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
