NOTE: I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. I freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
2 cloves minced garlic
3 tbsp peanut oil, or canola oil
1 cup diced red pepper
salt and pepper to season
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup lime juice
1/2 cup Hoisin sauce
4 tbsp rice wine or Chinese cooking wine
3 tbsp rice wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar in a pinch
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp chili paste, optional or to taste
2 tsp soya sauce
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger root
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
1 ounce water
1 tsp corn starch
1 large ripe mango, cubed
zest of one lime, finely minced

Instructions

Heat peanut oil in a wok over high heat. Quickly add the garlic and chicken, season with salt and pepper and stir fry over high heat for only about 3-4 minutes.
Add the peppers and stir fry for only about another 30seconds. Remove the chicken and peppers from the pan and set aside.
To the wok add the orange juice and lime juice.
Simmer to reduce the juice volume .
Mix together the Hoisin sauce, rice wine, rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar in a pinch) brown sugar, chili paste, soya sauce, toasted sesame oil, ginger root and Chinese five spice powder. Add to the wok all at once.
Simmer for a few minutes before returning the chicken and peppers to the wok with the sauce.
Bring to a boil and thicken with a slurry of 1 tsp corn starch dissolved in an ounce of cold water. (You can make a little extra slurry if you want a thicker sauce.)
Finally, add the mango and lime zest.
Toss for a minute or two just to warm the mango thoroughly. Serve over rice or Chinese noodles.
