Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

8 oz (225g) assorted mushrooms (shiitake, button, and oyster), sliced

2 tablespoons black pepper, freshly ground (adjust to taste)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

3 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

      In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary, then toss in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Add the sliced mushrooms and red bell pepper to the pan, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

          Return the chicken to the pan, along with the chopped green onions and sesame oil. Stir everything together until well combined, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

            Adjust seasoning with extra black pepper or salt per your taste.
