6 tablespoons apple juice |
6 tablespoons lemon juice |
4-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
4-1/2 teaspoons canola oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
2 medium tart apples, peeled and quartered |
1 tablespoon honey |
sauce: |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
3/4 cup apple juice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
