I've been making this recipe for over 10 years; my family requests it all the time. Great flavor and relatively easy/quick. I serve this with Wild Rice and Zucchini (cooked in olive oil with some garlic salt). Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 2 cups apple juice

  • 2 lemons, juiced

  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules

Directions

  1. Heat skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts in the skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  2. Cut chicken into strips.

  3. Whisk apple juice, lemon juice, cornstarch, and chicken bouillon in a skillet until smooth.

  4. Heat skillet over medium heat, stirring until sauce is thick and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes; continue cooking for 3 more minutes.

  5. Place chicken strips into the apple juice sauce and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes before serving.
