BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN STIR-FRY
I just love this chicken stir-fry recipe, and the aroma is out of this world! The dish is slightly sweet and very peppery, so you may want to serve it over white or brown rice to tame the heat. -Barbie Miller, Oakdale, Minnesota

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so make sure to use the best you can find.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
- Cook the chicken in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of chicken, cook it in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will also impart a nice flavor to the dish.
- Use a high heat: When cooking the chicken, use a high heat to ensure that it cooks quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry, so make sure to cook it just until it is cooked through.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and flavorful: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure to simmer it for long enough to allow the flavors to develop.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking, as the chicken will become tough if it sits for too long.
