The fall flavor combination of pears and blue cheese brings a seasonal element to an otherwise simple chicken dish. It's impressive enough for a dinner party, yet ready in minutes.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Generously season each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
In a large, oven-proof skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and sear breasts 2 to 3 minutes each side until lightly golden.
Place pan in oven and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and sauté red onion until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add spinach and toss until wilted. Transfer to a large platter or divide evenly between 4 plates.
Wipe out pan and heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with cider vinegar.
Add pears and gently heat until warm.
Stir in parsley.
Arrange cooked chicken breasts on spinach.
Top with warmed pear slices and about 2 tablespoons blue cheese per breast.
