This is a tasty, satisfying, and easy dish you can absolutely make in your own kitchen. Juicy chicken in a sweet-and-sour sauce with vegetables is impossible not to love. Despite the fairly long ingredient list, it's an easy recipe. There are many variations — with cashews, pineapple, zucchini, and so on. I've given the basic version with just two main ingredients, the chicken and the bell pepper, plus a whole bouquet of seasonings for the marinade.
