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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper (optional for extra spice)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the chicken into strips and cleaning your mushrooms. Mince the garlic and set everything aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken slices and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Toss in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and tender.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sugar, and freshly ground black pepper. Pour in chicken broth or water, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Adjust seasoning if needed, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or bok choy for extra nutrition and color.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
  • Thickening the sauce with a cornstarch slurry is optional but recommended for a more luscious texture.
  • Marinate the chicken briefly in soy and pepper for an even more flavorful dish.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or bok choy to enhance nutrition and color.
