BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SPINACH, PEARS AND BLUE CHEESE



Baked Chicken Breasts With Spinach, Pears and Blue Cheese image

wholefoodsmarket.com recipe, says "The fall flavor combination of pears and blue cheese brings a seasonal element to an otherwise simple chicken dish. Great for a dinner party!" It may appear like a fussy dish, but it was very easy and simple to prepare. I transferred the chicken breasts to a dish to bake while using the same pan for searing, sauteing the onions and spinach and for warming the pears. I served it with a millet pilaf dish. Next time I will use more red onion.
