Ingredients:

  • 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in strips
  • 2 tbsp. white wine
  • 2 tsp. low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. table salt
  • ¹/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp. sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp. peanut oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 piece(s) ginger root, each the size of a quarter, peeled, smashed
  • 2 cups green peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large mango (ripe but firm), sliced

Directions: Stir together chicken, 1 tbsp. wine, soy sauce, 1½ tsp. cornstarch and ½ tsp. salt until cornstarch is no longer visible; set aside. In a small bowl, combine broth, sriracha, remaining 1 tbsp. wine and ½ tsp. cornstarch; set aside. Heat a flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds. Swirl in oil.

Add ginger; stir-fry 10 seconds. Push ginger to sides of wok; add chicken and spread evenly in one layer. Cook 1 minute, until chicken begin to sear. Stir-fry 1 minute until chicken is no longer pink but not cooked through. Add bell peppers, and remaining ½ tsp. salt. Stir broth mixture into wok and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through and peppers are tender-crisp. Remove from heat, add mango and stir just until combined.
