Directions
Remove rind pieces from orange and lemon with a vegetable peeler and rough chop.
Heat a sauté or skillet large enough to just hold the meat pieces.
Spray. Sear to lightly brown the chicken pieces, both sides.
Meanwhile combine the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup.
Pour into the hot pan and let the liquid boil a bit to cook the thickener.
Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and cook gently for 15 minutes.
Serve with the cooking juices. Add water or more apple juice if the sauce loses too much moisture.
