3. Cook the Chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sautéed aromatics. Pour in some of the chicken broth left from boiling the chicken to keep the mixture moist.

4. Add the Sauces and Seasoning: Incorporate the black pepper sauce and oyster sauce into the skillet. Season with ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauces.

5. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the chicken absorbs the flavors, about 10-15 minutes.

6. Add the Vegetables: Add the green beans (or bell peppers, if using) to the skillet. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

7. Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Ayam Lada Hitam hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your preferred side dish.
