My husband is very fond of chicken...cooked in any form! I am fond of fruit and sauces in most any form. This recipe was created using all three of those ingredients. It has a sweet flavor with a touch of spice from the Sesame Oil. Serve it with plain rice or Skillet Confetti Corn (fresh).

PEAR AND RED ONION SAUCE
How to Make Chicken with Pear and Red Onion Sauce
- 1Combine together in a small bowl lemon pepper, Nature's Seasoning, and Kosher salt. Rub on the chicken breasts. Heat (medium) olive oil in a skillet; add chicken breasts and brown on both sides. Add garlic and sesame oil; continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes releasing the flavor of the garlic. Remove chicken breasts from the skillet.
- 2Mix together chicken stock, brown sugar, honey, and lemon juice in a bowl. Melt butter in the chicken drippings. Add red onions and sliced pears; saute for several minutes. Pour sauce mixture into the pan, stirring well. Add chicken breasts to the sauce. Reduce heat to low; cook approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally until chicken is thoroughly cooked and sauce is thickened. Serve.
