Balsamic Pears & Chicken

Balsamic Pears & Chicken at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
Balsamic Pears & Chicken on the table tonight, thanks to my friend who brought me a large basket of beautiful pears. I love pear season and all the wonderful recipes that I use pears in. The balsamic pears are a wonderful pairing for the chicken and it makes a delicious and very flavorful sauce for the chicken. This is a very simple recipe with a few herbs and some cranberries to enhance the flavors. This is a perfect recipe for pear season and will make a very special entre for any occasion.

  1. I love that this beautiful recipe is full of fall flavors, but it is not using your typical fruits/veggies of the season. I need to try this because my husband loves combination of sweet and savory.
