I made this!

Here's what I did:
You will need:
One mango
One bell pepper (don't be like me; get a green one, for color balance)
One carrot
Three or so chicken breast tenders (or maybe two chicken breasts, since I think a "tender" is half a breast?)
One cup of rice
One bottle of sweet and sour sauce
One bottle of orange juice
Do this:
Tell your rice maker to make steamed rice. Tell it firmly, or it may not listen.
Wait maybe fifteen minutes.
Chop the carrot into small pieces, then do the pepper as well (I removed the inner part of the pepper and just ate the tangy outside piece.
Chop the mango into slices, and do a better job than I did.
Chop the chicken into pieces as well. You're going for thinness above all, so it cooks faster.
Wait until the rice dings, if it hasn't.
Mix maybe half a cup of orange juice with maybe half a cup of sweet and sour. Fudge it, you're not going to use all of this.
Put a frying pan on the stove, let it heat up, then throw in the chicken. Let it cook until it's done.
Toss in the carrots as well, because they need to cook for longer. In fact, if you have a steamer like me, you may want to just steam the carrots at the same time as the rice. I will try this next time.
Pour the sauce over the whole thing, but not all of it, just use enough. Then drop in the mango and the peppers, stir it a bit.
Cover it and reduce heat, let it simmer until it's food, which won't be long. Maybe ten minutes? Less?
Put some of the steamed rice on a place, then pour this on top of it.
Take a picture and post it below!
Serves me. More would probably serve someone else too. The limiting factor is probably peppers, so if you have a guest, buy two (one red and one green would look neat).
Aftermath: It is a little too sweet, I think. I'll probably add some cayenne pepper next time.
