Panda Express Black Pepper Chicken

Black pepper chicken is a traditional dish from the Hunan Province in South Central China.  It is prepared with diced chicken, chopped celery, sliced onions and fresh ground pepper tossed in a mild ginger soy sauce.

If it's well seasoned, black pepper chicken is probably on of the best things you can get at a Chinese restaurant. Normally thigh meat is used in this dish but I decided to use chicken breasts instead because I prefer the flavor. You might wast a little extra sauce to go with your rice.
