Best Pineapple Mango Chicken Stir Fry

Our family loves fresh pineapple so I usually buy it often. There are so many benefits of pineapple that makes it a great fruit to add to meals, smoothies, and of course just to eat as a snack. Did you know pineapple can help you ward off that pesky cold? A single serving contains 130% of your daily requirement of Vitamin C! Pineapple and mango give this classic stir fry a fun and fruity spin that the whole family will love.
