Making Easy Black Pepper Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with soy sauce, a generous amount of black pepper, and corn starch. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

5. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

6. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or additional black pepper as desired.

8. Plate and Garnish: Remove from heat, and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions, if using.
