Black Pepper Chicken

Black Pepper Chicken

It is very convenient to buy a bottle of black pepper sauce and cook whatever meat you want with the sauce.  I prefer to make my own black pepper sauce so that I know what ingredient I added.  Most importantly, I know I am not eating any preservatives.  The sauce turns out to be better than the ready made ones from the supermarket.  Sauce is thick and fragrant as butter is added.

1.  300g chicken breast/fillet (cut into bite-sized)
