Black Pepper Chicken recipe that&#039;s better than Panda Express! Intensely flavored black pepper sauce with crisp pepper chicken and crunchy veggies. You&#039;ll fall in love with this dish after one bite!

Black Pepper Chicken (gluten-free, paleo, whole30 if modified)

chicken breasts (dice to 1-inch cubes)

tbsp coconut aminos

¼ tsp coarse sea salt

½ tsp baking soda

red bell pepper (dice to 1-inch cubes)

celery stalks (sliced on diagonal, about 3-4 medium length stalks)

3.5 oz yellow onion (diced, about 1 small onion)

tsp black pepper (see notes)

½ tsp Sichuan peppercorn powder (optional, see notes)

coconut aminos

chicken stock (or vegetable stock)

avocado oil

tapioca starch (or potato starch)

Coarse sea salt

Marinate

Slice the chicken breasts to 1-inch cubes and in a bowl add and mix well with the seasonings from coconut aminos to garlic powder. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare other items.

Vegetable

Prepare the bell pepper, celery, and onion in one bowl.

Sauce

In a separate bowl, mix and stir-well the black pepper sauce.

Preheat

In a 10 to 12-inch saute pan, add the avocado oil and preheat over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Test the temperature with a wooden chopstick, if it shows bubbles around the chopstick when inserting it into the oil, the temperature is hot enough. You can also use a thermometer to reach 350F/177C.

Coating

In the meantime, lightly coat the chicken with the starch. Toss well.

Pan-fry

Add the chicken pieces one-by-one into the pan. Turn up the heat to medium-high. Pan fry the chicken in a single layer without disturbing for about 3 minutes on the first side. Then use a chopstick or tong to cook the flip side for about 2 minutes. Transfer them out to a separate plate.

Saute

You should have some oil left in the skillet, if not, add 1 more tablespoon of oil. Saute the pepper, celery, and onion with 2 pinches of salt over medium-high heat for 1 minute.

Combine

Return the chicken to the pan and pour-in the black pepper sauce. Toss to coat the sauce over for 1 minute.

Serve

Turn off the heat. Transfer the food to a serving plate. Taste and season with more freshly ground black pepper or salt, if desired. Serve hot.

Nik Sharma’s latest cookbook, The Flavor Equation: The Science of Great Cooking in 114 Essential Recipes, includes a recipe for this delicious-sounding black pepper chicken. It’s a dish without a chili in sight that still promises to deliver its fair share of heat! The chicken is served atop basmati rice — read on for Sharma’s recipe, plus his how-to for getting the rice just right.

Black Pepper Chicken

By Nik Sharma

Before chillies arrived in India, black pepper was an important ingredient that provided heat in cooking. There are a few different versions of black pepper chicken, some dry and some with a more gravy-like sauce. If you prefer a drier chicken, use half the amount of coconut milk indicated in the recipe.

The flavour approach:&nbsp;

The heat in this dish comes from the pepper. For a more pronounced aroma and taste, use Tellicherry peppercorns, inspired by the South Indian stew of the same name.

Fennel seeds and slow-cooked onions provide sweetness to counteract the heat. Onions contain long chains of fructose molecules called fructans that break down on heating to release the sweeter-tasting fructose molecules.

Coconut milk is an emulsion of water, fat, proteins, and sugars that provides creaminess.

Use a fragrant coconut oil to get the full impact of coconut fragrance and flavor in this dish.

Black Pepper Chicken: Nik Sharma's heat-filled recipe is for nights when you want something wonderfully warm

tbsp black peppercorns

coriander

tsp fennel seeds, ground

tsp turmeric

lime juice

salt

lb [1.4 kg] boneless, skinless chicken thighs

garlic cloves,

13.6 fl oz [403 mL] can full-fat unsweetened coconut milk

tbsp chopped cilantro, for garnish

Plain Rice (recipe to follow),

[200 g] basmati rice

A thick black pepper glaze sticks to every piece of chicken and green bean and gives just the right amount of heat for this easy Asian-style dinner. Done in 30 minutes or less, this includes your protein, veggie and carb. The unique heat and flavor of the sauce utilizes one of the unsung ingredient heros: simple black pepper.
