INTRO - For this sauce, buy the ripest, juiciest pears you can find.

Preheat oven to 350F. Adjust oven rack to divide oven in half. Wrap chicken in foil; bake in center of oven 8 minutes, until warmed. 2. Meanwhile, in medium nonstick skillet, heat oil; add shallots, ginger, allspice, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 3 minutes, until shallots are softened. 3. Add pears, apple, juice, wine and zest to shallot mixture; cook, stirring gently, 5 minutes, until fruits are softened. 4. Arrange warm chicken in circular pattern on large round serving platter; spoon fruit mixture into center. Serve garnished with lemon slices. Makes 4 servings.
