We call this “Food Court Chicken”! It’s just like the chicken they hand you when you walk through the food court on a toothpick! Sticky, sweet, and delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, apple juice, water, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat.
- Add the chicken to the skillet, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through, 7-8 minutes.
