- Remove chicken. Brown 4 more. Set all the chicken aside.
- Return heat to high. Stir in 1/2 c. stock, scraping bottom of skillet to clear it of all browned bits. Add in onions and remaining seasoning mix. Stir. Cook for 3 to 4 min, or possibly till all liquid evaporates. Stir in 1/4 of lemon juice. Scrape bottom of skillet again to clear it. Cook for 3 to 4 min, or possibly till liquid evaporates. Add in 1/2 c. apple juice. Clear bottom and side of skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 min, or possibly till about half of the liquid evaporates.
- Stir in remaining 1 c. of stock, the 1/4 c. lemon juice and the 1/4 c. apple juice. Bring to a boil (will take 2 to 3 min), whisk in the cornstarch-apple juice mix, and return to a boil.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, lower the heat to medium, and cook till the chicken is done all the way through, about 4 to 5 min.
- Turn off the heat, remove the chicken, and if you like, whisk in the artificial sweetener.
