STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH MANGO AND PEPPERS
This is from HeartSmart Chinese Cooking, by Steven Wong. Every single recipe in this book is delicious, and since I can't post them all, you should just buy it. The recipes are great because they taste authentically Asian, but are a lot lower in fat and salt than a lot of traditional recipes. Prep time includes marinating time. Can be served over rice, but I find it's a filling meal in itself.

STIR-FRIED MANGO CHICKEN
I fell in love with the mango chicken dish at a great Chinese restaurant years ago, so I tried to make it at home! Here is my version--easy, fresh, and delicious! The colors are beautiful and there is ample sauce for your rice. Don't forget to put some rice on before you start this, as it goes quick!

Steps:
- Whisk mango nectar, chicken stock, cornstarch, and soy sauce together in a bowl until well combined; set sauce aside.
- Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic and fry until onion is soft and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add bell peppers to the pan and toss gently. Cover and steam until softened but still firm, about 3 minutes. Add mangos; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Give reserved sauce another quick whisk and stir gently into the pan. Cook until sauce is thick, 1 to 2 minutes; peppers and mangos should still be firm, not mushy!
- Remove from heat and serve with rice.
