Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast, cut into 4 pieces
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Black pepper, to taste
• Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), to taste
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Oyster sauce, to taste
• 200 ml water
• Cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water), as needed

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Marinate the chicken pieces with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Once marinated, cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes.

2. Prepare Vegetables:

   • Dice the red and green bell peppers into small pieces. Slice the onion thinly and finely mince the garlic.

3. Cooking:

   • Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
   • Add the water to the pan and bring it to a boil.
   • Once boiling, add the chicken cubes. Stir in the sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let the chicken cook until it is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed, which will infuse the flavors into the chicken.

4. Add Vegetables:

   • Incorporate the diced red and green bell peppers along with the sliced onion into the pan. Stir briefly to combine and allow the vegetables to cook slightly while retaining their crunch.

5. Thicken the Sauce:

   • Pour in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with a little water) to thicken the sauce. Stir well until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

6. Serve:

   • Serve your Ayam Lada Hitam hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dish. Enjoy the delightful combination of tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a luscious black pepper sauce.
