My Fave Recipe - Black Pepper Chicken

A friend brought back from Sarawak a bottle of crushed black pepper for me. I decided to use it when it's still fresh. Thus on Friday I tried a new recipe using the black pepper and it turned out delicious. I am glad to share the recipe for the Black Pepper Chicken. Seen on this photo, I served it on a bed of lettuce and some cucumber and pineapple slices. They vegies go very well with the chicken.
