Award winning Stuffed Chicken with Apple Gravy uses pine nuts, spinach, currants and garlic to flavor the chicken. A savory apple gravy finishes off this easy dinner recipe!
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.
