Sauté Onion: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté until softened and fragrant, around 3-4 minutes.
Add Bell Peppers: Stir in the chopped red and yellow peppers. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, fresh ginger, and garlic until smooth.
Cook Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Combine and Cook: Return the crispy chicken to the pan and simmer until fully cooked and the sauce thickens, about 5-6 minutes.
Serve: Serve your sweet and sour chicken over a bed of steamed rice or egg noodles.
