Stir Fried Chicken with Mango and Peppers

Chicken is stir-fried with onions, red bell peppers, and spices; mangoes are stirred in at the end to create a nice balance of sweet and spice.

Ingredients

• ♥♦♥♦Chicken and Marinade: 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced
• 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• ♥♦♥♦Sauce: 2 tsp cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 tsp ketchup
• 1 1/2 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 star anise
• 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 tsp chopped fresh garlic
• 1 large shallot, chopped
• 2 large mangoes, peeled, pitted, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup toasted pecan halves

Directions:

Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl.

Put the raw chicken in and let it sit for half an hour.

Mix the sauce ingredients in another bowl and put aside.

Break off the star arms of the anise and throw away the middle.

Carefully press between your fingers until you hear a crack.

In a non-stick frying pan or a wok, heat the oil and the star anise on high heat.

Put in the chicken and stir-fry for about 4 or 5 minutes, until the chicken is opaque.

Put in the pepper slices, ginger, garlic and shallots and stir-fry for another minute.

Put in the sauce ingredients and stir to mix until it thickens a bit.

It should take about another minute.

Add the mango slices and mix gently until they’re warmed through.

Garnish with the pecans and cilantro and serve immediately.
