  • Wash chicken and combine with lemon juice, garlic paste, cayenne pepper, bouillon cube and salt to taste.
  • Set chicken aside to marinate for at least 2 hours before grilling. When ready to cook, grill chicken until both sides of each piece acquire a brown color and meat is well done on the inside – set aside.
  • In a skillet, warm up oil and combine with onions, garlic powder, black pepper and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Then add marinade and cook for an additional 2 minutes before adding bell peppers.
  • Cook for 3 minutes or until bell peppers are half tender and then add mango and salt to taste.
  • Cook on very low heat for only 3 minutes and then turn off heat to simmer.
