Hey brother… or friend… whoever’s reading — hope your day’s going alright.

I just sat down with a cup of tea, and honestly, I wasn’t even planning to write anything right now. But then this smell from my kitchen — a mix of pepper, garlic, and that sizzling chicken sound — kinda pushed me into writing.

So… here we are.
Talking about Chicken Pepper Stir Fry Recipe, but not in a textbook, boring style.
More like —
“Bro, let me tell you how I make it, because it’s super easy and honestly tastes way better than it looks.”

And yeah, I’ll keep the English simple. Like how we talk when someone’s standing next to us in the kitchen and we’re explaining step-by-step while burning the first batch of garlic (been there).

Chicken Pepper Stir Fry Recipe — What Even Is It?

Okay, imagine this Chicken Pepper Stir Fry Recipe:
You’re hungry.
You don’t wanna make something fancy.
You want something quick that still tastes like effort.

That’s exactly what Chicken Pepper Stir Fry Recipe does.

It’s basically chicken cooked quickly on high heat with pepper… lots of pepper… and some garlic, onions, capsicum — the usual gang. Not too wet. Not too dry. Just that perfect “okay I can eat this with anything” level.

Some people think stir fry means Chinese restaurant style. Eh… not exactly. This version is more home-style. More “what you do when you’re hungry at 10 PM.”

And trust me, it works.

So friend, let’s know something more interesting — what you’ll need.

Equipment (don’t worry, nothing chef-level)

I’m not giving you fancy equipment lists like food blogs do.
Here’s what real people use:

• One pan. Big enough so food doesn’t fly out.
  
• One knife. Sharp-ish.
  
• Cutting board.
  
• A spoon or spatula.
  
• A bowl for mixing stuff.
  
• Your hands. Don’t be fancy with gloves — use hands. Better control.
  

Nothing else.

Ingredients — Simple stuff you probably already have

I’m writing these casually, because honestly, exact measurements aren’t that serious here.

Chicken

• About 400–500g boneless chicken, sliced thin
  (thin slices cook faster — trust me)
  

Marinade things

• 1 tbsp soy sauce
  
• 1 tsp crushed black pepper
  
• 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
  
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  
• A pinch of salt
  
• 1 tsp cornflour (helps coat the chicken)
  

Stir fry stuff

• 2 tbsp oil
  
• 1 onion (sliced casually)
  
• 1 capsicum (any colour — doesn’t matter)
  
• 2–3 garlic cloves (chopped)
  
• 1 or 2 green chilies
  
• More crushed pepper (this dish LOVES pepper)
  
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
  
• A pinch of sugar (sounds strange but balances flavour)
  

If you mess up the amounts, don’t panic.
This dish forgives you.

So brother, let’s know something more interesting — the cooking.

Let’s Cook This Chicken Pepper Stir Fry Recipe

Step 1. Marinate the chicken

Throw the sliced chicken in a bowl. Add soy sauce, pepper, ginger-garlic paste, vinegar, cornflour, salt.

Mix it. Preferably by hand.
Yeah… it feels squishy but it mixes better.

Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
If it sits longer, fine. If shorter… still fine.

Step 2. Heat oil — like properly hot

Put your pan on medium-high flame. Add oil.
When it looks shiny and kinda dancing, that’s your moment.

Add the chicken.
Don’t be overcrowded. Spread it out.

Let it stay still for a moment.
People often shake the pan too early — patience, brother… patience.

Step 3. Add your aromatics

Once chicken is no longer pink, add:

• Garlic
  
• Green chili
  
• Onion slices
  

Stir it around casually.
You don’t need perfect techniques. Just make sure nothing burns.

When the onions get a little soft (not too much), add capsicum.

Step 4. Pepper time

This is the fun part.
Crush some fresh black pepper. Don’t use that old powder — it has zero personality.

Add a generous amount.
Trust me… this dish is pepper-forward.

Add soy sauce, salt, and a tiny bit of sugar.

If it looks too dry, splash a spoon of water. Not too much, just like you’re giving the dish a tiny sip.

Step 5. Stir, taste, adjust, done

Take one piece of chicken and eat it.
If it needs more pepper — add.
If it needs salt — add.
If it tastes great — congratulations, chef.

That’s literally it.

Turn off the heat.
Take a breath.
Enjoy that peppery aroma… it’s so good.
