Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiled water. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain, then return to the saucepan.
• While the rice is cooking, roughly chop Asian greens. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Set aside. • Lightly crush black peppercorns with a pestle and mortar or in their sachet using a rolling pin.
Little cooks: Have a go at crushing the peppercorns!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook diced chicken breast and carrot with a pinch of salt and pepper, tossing occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat. Add crushed peppercorns, caramelised onion chutney, oyster sauce and the soy sauce, stirring to combine.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
TIP: Black peppercorns can be hot, add less if you’re sensitive to heat!
• Divide basmati rice between bowls. Top with black pepper chicken stir-fry. • Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the peanuts!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The bold black pepper and oyster sauce combination delivers a rich, flavoursome stir-fry, though opinions on the pepper intensity are strongly divided.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a genuinely quick and easy weeknight meal, especially with the chicken already diced.
- Suggestions: Many reviewers recommend using half the peppercorns, or even less, as the full amount was frequently described as overpowering — particularly for kids. Several also suggested reducing the soy sauce or using only one sachet of oyster sauce to keep saltiness in check, and a few added extra vegetables like broccoli or capsicum to bulk out the dish.
- Leftovers: At least one family saved the sauce to make extra portions for school lunches, and the dish was noted as a good option for reheating the next day — though one reviewer found the pepper flavour intensified overnight.
- Portions: A number of reviewers felt the four-person serve was better suited to three adults, and some added extra vegetables or protein to make it more substantial.
