- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 green bell pepper cored, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper cored, seeded and thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 2-3 mangos peeled and diced into chunks
Instructions
- heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
- season the chicken with salt and pepper, once the pan is hot add the pieces of chicken and brown on each side. careful not to over crowd. If you have to cook them in batches. roughly 4-6 minutes in total.
- Once all the chicken is cooked add the peppers to the pan, cook 3-4 minutes or until they are soft. Then add the garlic and ginger, cook for a minute.
- in a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar and cornstarch. Pour over the chicken and peppers bringing it to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the mango chunks and serve. I served mine over rice but it's not necessary.
