Heat a skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add apple, leek & sugar; saute 12 mins or until browned. Remove from pan; set aside. Combine cheese, flour, 1/4 tsp. salt & pepper in a dish. Dredge chicken in cheese mixture. Heat butter in pan over medium-high heat; add chicken. Saute 4 mins on each side or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan, keep warm. Add juice & broth to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook broth mixture until reduced to 1-1/2 cups.
