- Sprinkle chicken with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in skillet; saute 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add celery; turn chicken breasts over, nestling them into celery. Cover, reduce heat, and cook 5 minutes. Remove chicken and celery from skillet. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Set chicken and celery aside; keep warm.
- Add broth to skillet, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Combine cornstarch and water. Stir cornstarch mixture into broth; cook 30 seconds. Gradually add broth mixture to yogurt cheese, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in juice.
