Pepper Chicken

Good morning and happy Sunday! My goal today is to share three recipes with you so I can be all caught up before my sister and family comes into town on Wednesday. Today's recipe is Pepper Chicken. The original recipe from Eat Well 101 is a Pepper Chicken Stir Fry recipe. We eliminated the bell peppers, used garlic powder instead of garlic cloves, and didn't use Sriracha and turned it into just  a chicken recipe. If you make this recipe, please let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear your feedback!

Ingredients:
Boneless, skinless, chicken breast sliced into 1 inch pieces
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup organic light brown sugar
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk the garlic powder, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and cornstarch. This is your stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Cut the chicken into pieces and sprinkle the chicken with ground pepper.

Add a skillet to the stove, turn heat to high and pour 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet. Let sit for 30-60 seconds. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet in one layer.

Cook on each side to sear the chicken. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue to cook until no longer pink and they are browned on each side. Pour the stir-fry sauce over and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with rice and broccoli.
