Chicken and Pear Skillet Supper (Diabetic) image

I have to say that I tried this with a bit of trepidation and was most pleasantly surprised! This is really excellent. I served it with unadorned brown rice and a simple green salad. Be sure to give it the full cooking to to allow the flavors to come together. I have company coming in a couple of weeks and this is going to be on the table fro them.
