Main Dish

Steps

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the diced pears and honey. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the pears are soft and caramelized.
Slice the chicken and return it to the skillet, mixing it with the pears.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for Honey-Glazed Pear and Chicken Skillet

Look for golden-brown chicken and pear pieces that are tender but still hold their shape; the honey glaze should cling rather than pool.
Use a skillet large enough to leave space around the chicken so it browns instead of steaming.
Have the pear diced before cooking; the quick skillet timing leaves little room for prep once the chicken is underway.
