Chicken In Pepper Sauce

I have been on a heat kick lately and made this. I did not have Szechuan pepper so I just added more black pepper. I love pepper and this was peppery with a slight lemon flavor. Loved it. I did not garnish with cilantro tho..... Thanks, Keni for another great recipe

I've never heard of Szechuan pepper! But, I'm not much into heat. No cilantro and no celery either. :) Nice picture, MrP.

That looks so good and looks like a TON of pepper, but that wouldn't bother me as I love the stuff too! That Szechuan pepper does sound interesting and I'm always into one more spice on my overflowing spice rack :) Out of celery leaves? ;)

This looks delicious MrP! I've e-mailed myself the recipe to put on my short list to try soon. I enjoy Lemon pepper chicken dishes but this one has a twist with the addition of the oyster sauce and worcestershire. I too don't have Szechuan pepper or salt but like ML2C I do always like an excuse to expand my spice cabinet so I may go on a search! :) Thanks for posting. Really nice picture!

Thanks guys! :-)

This one was easy and quick to put together.... if anyone can get their hands on Szechuan pepper or a blend, I do recommend it. It really does have a very distinct flavor. It's kinda tough to find in the states, though... but, that infused salt does get the idea across! :-)

Most "salt and pepper" shrimp, chicken, beef options in a good Asian restaurants use Szechuan, I think... and you can taste the difference. But, even without it, extra black pepper will just boost the flavor.

Thanks everyone. And yes, I am out of celery, I have not had a chance to get to the store. I should have put a jar of celery salt in the pic :)

Got around to making this one finally! This was fast, easy and so flavorful! This is a lot of onions (I even cut down some) but it didn't bother me any, and even the husband was eating up all the onions by the spoonful. I had some beautiful bell peppers from my garden that I just had to throw in there with the onions as well. I used a Szechuan pepper and salt blend. I didn't go over board on the black pepper, so the little one wouldn't be coughing and sneezing the whole time we were eating lol. Forgot the cilantro for my pic., but I added it later :)

I did some research on Szechuan peppers a while back. They actually don't have that much heat at all. What they do is have a numbing effect on the tongue so that the other peppers in the dish won't taste so hot and one can more enjoy the flavors of the peppers in the dish without so much heat.
Found the Szechuan peppers in an oriental store. They are actually the husk of a seed. The shrub or tree can be grown in the back yard and harvested.

Edit: As it turns out I was looking for ingredients to make Chinese 5 spice powder. Here is the link with the discussion: Homemade 5 Spice Powder

Oh wow that is too cool and really interesting! I would like to find the "husk" now instead of just a blend so I can see the full affect in a dish.
