Add chicken and cook about 8 minutes or until brown on all sides. Add 1/4 cup green onion, sweet taters, okra, apple rings, chicken broth and reserved marinade. Cover; reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender and your fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.

Increase heat to high temperature and bring liquid in frypan to a boil, stirring until liquid is reduced by about 1/3. In small cup, place cornstarch; add water and stir until smooth.
