Cooking Pointers
- Don’t overcook the chicken; it should be juicy and tender, not dry.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it moist.
Step 1
Lightly heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Cook the chicken breasts for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they’re no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear—you can check with a meat thermometer to be sure it’s reached 165°F. Once cooked, slice the chicken into strips.
Step 2
In the same skillet, whisk together the apple juice, lemon juice, cornstarch, and chicken bouillon until everything is smooth. Turn the heat to medium and cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens and starts to bubble—this should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Keep it on the heat for another 3 minutes to let it fully develop.
Step 3
Add the chicken strips back into the sauce and let everything simmer gently for 6 to 8 minutes so the flavors meld together. Then, it’s ready to serve!
