In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, half the salt, and half the black pepper until every piece is evenly dusted and the starch is absorbed.
Heat most of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside. Done when internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add the remaining oil to the same skillet. Sauté the bell pepper and onion until softened and slightly charred, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Season with the remaining salt, the rest of the black pepper, and the green onions. Toss quickly over high heat for 1 minute to combine and serve immediately.
