1 cup finely diced seeded red bell pepper (about 1 large)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped seeded jalapeo chiles (about 2 medium)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
3 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lb total), halved horizontally
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp (1/4 stick) butter, divided
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2/3 cup low-salt chicken broth
2/3 cup pear nectar

For salsa: Mix all ingredients except cilantro in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Stir in cilantro.
