5. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
6. Add Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
7. Thicken the Sauce: If desired, mix the cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the chicken mixture for a thicker sauce.
8. Season: Add the remaining black pepper and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Black Pepper Chicken while hot, ideally with steamed rice or noodles.
