RECIPE

SINGAPORE STYLE PEPPER CHICKEN

A very simple and easy to make pepper Chicken which goes very well with Chapathi, Naan and Rice. Just some basic ingredients are used here. You can add bell peppers, but I have not used them here. Soft chicken pieces covered in a thick black pepper sauce. Remember to freshly crush some pepper to get that extra zing.

Ingredients:

• Chicken cubed- 2 cups
• Onion- 1 small chopped
• Ginger/ garlic- 1 tbsp grated
• Pepper crushed- 2 tbsp (I use my mortar and pestle)
• Pepper sauce- 2 tbsp (optional)
• Soy sauce- 1.5 tsp
• Spring Onion- 1 tbsp
• Corn flour- 1tbsp
• Oil- 3 tbsp
• Chicken stock- 1/2 cup

Method:

• Marinate the chicken with corn flour,  1 tbsp pepper, salt and 1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste.
• Heat oil in a skillet or non stick pan.
• Fry the chicken pieces for five minutes and keep aside.
• Add the ginger garlic paste and the chopped onion. You can add red and green capsicum at this point if you want to make it more colourful.
• Cook for few minutes and then add the crushed pepper and the sauces.
• Add the chicken stock and when it bubbles add in the fried chicken pieces.
• Simmer until the gravy is thick and well coats the chicken pieces.
• Switch off the flame and garnish with chopped spring onion.
