Chicken with Caramelized Baby Onions and Pears

This is one of my favorites. You will be surprised by just how good it is. Follow the recipe on the preceding page for Chicken with Caramelized Baby Onions and Honey. Choose firm pears; if the fruit is too soft, they tend to collapse during the cooking. Comice and Bosc are good varieties.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the chicken as on the preceding page. Peel, quarter, and core 4 small or 2 large pears. Over medium heat, sauté the pieces in a large skillet in about 1/3 to 1/2 stick (3 to 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon sunflower oil until they are soft and lightly colored.

    Step 2

    When serving, present them on top of the chicken pieces or beside them.
