    Meanwhile, spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add vegetables; stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup of the apple juice; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook about 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

    Gradually stir apple juice mixture into vegetable mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken; cook until thoroughly heated. Toss with cooked millet.

  • Cooking grains in chicken broth adds a flavor boost, and it works well in this recipe because millet has a mild flavor that lends itself well as a background to other seasonings. A grain known for its high protein and mineral content, it’s also very easy to digest. Millet can be found in Asian markets and natural-food stores.
