INSTRUCTIONS
INTRO - For this sauce, buy the ripest, juiciest pears you can find.
Look for Bartletts or Anjous, with their yellowish green color and
blush of red, during the fall and winter; in the spring, try Bosc
pears, easily recognized by their russet skin and slender neck.
1. 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.
