Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 7x11 inch baking dish. Place croutons in a medium bowl and pour stock over top; let stand for 5 minutes. Melt butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Add apple, onion and rosemary. Cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until tender. Add to crouton mixture. Stir in walnuts and prunes. Slice each chicken breast in half through center, keeping the edge intact so it opens like a book. Season all over with salt and pepper. Stuff each evenly with crouton mixture and fold to close. Place in prepared baking dish. Brush herb butter over chicken breasts. Bake for 1 hour or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
