Ingredients:

Serving

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
sea salt
fresh ground pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup red onion, diced
4 -6 cups loosely packed spinach, washed, dried, stems removed (not baby )
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 ripe anjou pears, peeled, cored , and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 cup blue cheese, crumbles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F Generously season each chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a large, oven-proof skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and sear breasts 2 to 3 minutes each side until lightly golden. Place pan in oven and bake until chicken is done, about 15 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and saute red onion until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add spinach and toss until wilted. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large platter or divide evenly between 4 plates. Wipe out pan and heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with vinegar. Add pears and gently heat to warm. Stir in parsley.
Place cooked chicken breasts on spinach. Top with warmed pear slices and about 2 tablespoons blue cheese per breast.
