Black Pepper Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Note: This recipe calls for boneless thigh meat, which is preferred, but I tried using breast meat and the result was fine also.
• Mix together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
• Cut chicken into a small dice, about 1/4-inch.
• Heat 1-2 cups peanut or other cooking oil in your wok.
• Place cornstarch in a small bowl and begin to dust chicken pieces, shaking off excess.
• Fry in hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes; drain.
• Remove oil from wok and discard.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok and stir-fry onion about 1 minute; add peas and carrots and cook another 30 seconds.
• Add sauce mixture to wok along with chicken pieces and stir to coat everything evenly.
• Serve at once with hot steamed rice.

Steps:

• Take a big bowl and put the yogurt.
• Add coarse pastes of onion and garlic.
• Add the deskinned chicken.
• (Drumsticks or breast pieces) Put the cling foil and leave to marinate overnight in the fridge.
• Heat oil in the skillet and allow the same to become medium hot. Dont allow it to start smoking.
• Add cloves, green cardamoms, cinnamon and bay leaves.
• Wait for 3-4 seconds as you see these ingredients crackling and giving out the aroma.
• Empty the bowl with all its ingredients in the oil.
• Saute on high flame for 3-4 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of water and salt. Close the lid, lower the fire and allow to cook for 15 minutes till chicken is tender.
• Open the lid and finally add the freshly ground black pepper powder and cover for 2 minutes on medium fire.
• When done garnish with tomatoes, fresh coriander or parsley.
• Serve warm with pita bread, tortillas,Indian bread or rice.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the chicken, breast-side up, in the center of a roasting pan (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle liberally with salt and roast, undisturbed, 25 minutes. Remove and let the par-cooked chicken rest (the breast skin should be nicely browned).
• For the crust: Place the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Finely chop the arugula and place in a medium bowl along with the toasted breadcrumbs. Place the peppercorns on a flat surface such as a cutting board and, using the underside of a skillet, crack them. (The peppercorns should be very coarsely crushed.) Add the peppercorns and butter to the bowl with the breadcrumbs and arugula and mix well.
• Gently pat the crust on top of the chicken breast. Place the chicken back in the oven and roast until the juices run clear or a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 160 to 165 degrees F, an additional 25 to 35 minutes (see Cook's Note). Let rest at least 10 minutes, then carve and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place cornstarch in a large bowl. Add chicken in batches; tossing to coat. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes. Remove and keep warm., Stir-fry onion in remaining oil until tender. Stir soy sauce mixture and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Return chicken to pan; heat through. Top with cilantro and green onions.

Steps:

• Mix together the salt, ginger paste, garlic paste, vinegar, turmeric and 1 tsp of the black pepper.
• Rub the chicken with this mixture, cover and leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
• Heat the oil in a wide frying pan.
• Add 2 tsp of the pepper, sauté briefly, then add the sliced onion.
• Cook until golden, then add the onion paste.
• Fry until golden again.
• Add the chicken with any marinade of juices and fry until almost dry.
• Add a little water, then cook the chicken until done, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the ginger strips, coriander and the remaining pepper.
• Serve hot with naan bread or over basmati rice.

Steps:

• To make the marinade: Put the onion, ginger, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper and 3 TBSP water into a blender. Blend to a smooth paste, pushing down with rubber spatula when needed.
• To marinate the chicken: Put the sliced chicken in a bowl. Add the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• To make the dish: Pour the oil into a wide, nonstick pan set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the cinnamon and cardamom. Stir for 10 seconds. Put in the onion and fry, stirring at the same time, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the onion turns a reddish-brown color. Add the cumin and coriander. Stir once. Add the yogurt, 1 TBSP at a time, and stir until it is absorbed. Add the tomato and stir for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium, add the chicken, together with its marinade, and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken pieces turn white. Add 3/4 cup water, the salt, and garam masala. Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring now and then.

Steps:

• Heat oil in wok. Add onions, peppers, garlic, ginger, and green beans. Stirfry until crisp tender and remove from wok, leaving as much oil as possible behind. Keep warm.
• Add chicken to oil in wok, and stirfry until done through. Push chicken up the sides of the work, and add sauce. Heat sauce, and as it thickens, stir in chicken.
• Add veggies back to chicken in wok. Add black pepper. Stir to combine and reheat veggies if needed. Serve immediately over hot rice.
