Ingredients
8 bacon strips
1-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast
1/3 cup pear nectar
1/4 cup finely chopped dried pears
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 packages (1.9 ounces each) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

Place bacon in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until crisp. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over bacon. Broil 1 minute longer or until bacon is glazed and bubbly. Drain on paper towels. Cool slightly and crumble.
In a small skillet, combine the chicken, pear nectar, pears, preserves, butter, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until thickened. Spoon about 1 teaspoonful of filling into each tart shell; place tarts on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
Bake at 350° for 5-7 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
