Method

In a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter and olive oil. Add vegetables and saute about 5-7 minutes, just until onions begin to turn translucent. Add minced garlic and cook about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice and zest, cranberries, and chicken. Mix well and cook 2-3 minutes until juice has been absorbed. In a separate bowl, combine corn muffin mix, egg and applesauce. Push meat and vegetable mixture to edges of pan to create a well in center of skillet. Add 1 tsp butter and pour cornbread mixture into well. Cover top of skillet with 1 or 2 paper towels and the lid. The paper towels will catch any condensation build up on lid. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, 8-10 minutes. Check bread for doneness using a toothpick in several areas of bread. When all tests come out clean, bread in done. Break into chunks and combine with meat and vegetables. Top with apple walnut gravy. Apple Walnut Gravy: In microwave safe bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Heat uncovered in microwave on high for 3 minutes. Whisk well once half way through cooking.
