directions
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine jucies, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and black pepper.

- Once sauce is cool, add chicken, fruit, and green pepper. Place marinade and chicken in plastic storage bag or container; refrigerate at least an hour or overnight.
