Chicken Breast stuffed with Kale, Cranberries, Apple and Cheddar Cheese

I saw this dinner entree at Costco in the frozen section a couple weeks ago and thought I'd give it a try. The chicken breasts come frozen raw, so you'll need to defrost and then they easily bake at 350 degrees in about 25 minutes. I thought that the stuffed chicken breasts were exceptional. The meat was properly seasoned, moist and the stuffing of kale, cranberries apple and cheddar cheese really worked well. I went back to Costco to get another package and found out they're a seasonal item and sold out for the season :(  Look for these stuffed chicken breasts next year, you'll be happy you did!

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the defrosted stuffed chicken breasts on a non stick baking pan. Bakes for approx 25 minutes. Make sure the chicken breasts are done to 165 degrees. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve the chicken breasts as is, or with your choice of starch and or vegetable. Kick it up a notch by making a simple chicken gravy. 

Ingredients:
1 cup water
2 packets Trader Joe's savory chicken broth 
2 tablespoon Wondra flour

Preparation:
To make the chicken gravy, combine the water, savory chicken broth mix and Wondra flour in a small bowl and mix well. Heat a small 8" saute pan to medium high and add the gravy mixture. Stir continuously and as the gravy heats up to a boil, it will also thicken because of the flour.
