Ingredients
Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Coarse sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach , thawed and well drained **see note
- 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted
- 3 cloves garlic , finely minced
- 3 tablespoons dried currants
Apple Gravy:
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 apple , cut into 1/8 inch slices
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch , dissolved in 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves , chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F degrees and coat a medium baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper. Using a meat mallet, tenderize until the chicken breast is approximately 1/4 inch thick. Season with the salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the spinach, pine nuts, garlic and currants. Toss well.
- Place one chicken breast onto a cutting board or other clean work surface. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among chicken breasts. Roll up lengthwise, folding in edges, and place seam side down into a casserole dish lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken registrars to 165°F. Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing horizontally.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the apple gravy. In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth, apple juice, cornstarch slurry, thyme and apples. Bring to a low simmer until mixture thickens and apples are slightly soft. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
- Slice stuffed chicken and smother with sweet apple gravy.

Notes
- **Note: To remove as much liquid as possible from spinach, squeeze thawed spinach in paper towels until little to no moisture remains. The volume will decrease significantly, this is normal.
