Meanwhile, combine juices, sugar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when clear and thickened and add fruit.

Pour mixture over chicken, coating each piece, and bake 10 minutes longer. Garnish with chopped parsley or green pepper and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with Savory Lemon Rice.
