Place remaining juice concentrate, lemon juice and broth in a small saucepan. Blend Splenda/Equal and cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir cornstarch mixture into juice mixture in saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and whisk butter into the sauce. Add chives and parsley. Pour over the chicken breasts then top with the almonds.

healthy recipes for a picky eater?
i want to find some simple yet tasty recipes but i am REALLY picky.
i will not eat onion, garlic, any veggie but carrots (only raw baby ones) and corn (on the cob preferably) or anything spicy! i also dislike green onion or any kind of pepper (even bell pepper).
i also hate most sauces, pizza, fries, but hamburgers are okay (only if its just the cheese and meat on white bread though). i will not eat mayo or tartar sauce or marinara sauce.
i love chicken, shrimp and fish. I will tolerate beef or pork (but only if unseasoned).
i will eat lemon pepper and cinnamon.. but not much else as far as spices. i will, however, eat most any fruit except grapefruit. i do love fruit. i will eat yogurt too. and some flavors of ice cream. but not chocolate. i love cucumbers and tomatoes but hate ketchup.
what are some healthy recipes for an extremely picky eater?
Hmm I must say you ARE picky! 
But I want to try this challenge so here are three suggestions:
1) You say you like tomatoes and I think you like cheese (because you put it on your burgers). Do you like pasta? If so, this really easy recipe I like to make is plain pasta, in one of the bite-sized shapes such as rigatoni. I use whole wheat pasta because it’s healthier and more nutritious but maybe you don’t like that. Cook the pasta and coat with olive oil (or butter if olive oil is on your icky foods list).
I cut a cup of cherry tomatoes in half, and I have about a half cup of chopped up cheese (I use feta or mozzarella, whichever you prefer). I pour the tomatoes and cheese over the pasta and voila! It’s done and it’s pretty balanced, especially if you use the whole wheat pasta. Oh–and you can of course slice some chicken and put that on top, too.
2) Since you like yogurt and fruit, how about smoothies where you take one container plain yogurt and mix it with fresh fruit and ice in your blender (make sure you have a blender that can crush ice. if not, just make the yogurt and fruit and pour it over ice). Some combos are: strawberry-banana; mixed berries; peanut butter-banana. A smoothie is pretty healthy as long as it doesn’t have tons of extra sugar.
hmmm I will try to think of more…
