Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 sweet potato peeled and cut into cubes
  • 1 pear cut into thin slices
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon

Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add your olive oil, then add your chicken breasts. Cook until no longer pink - this will take between 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts. Once they are cooked thoroughly, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside.
  • You can keep the chicken breasts warm by wrapping in tin foil and placing a dish towel over it to trap in the heat.
  • In the same pan, (do not drain the juices) add your sweet potato, pear and the water. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Simmer for about 5-8 minutes or until the pear and potato are tender.
  • Stir in your honey, mustard and tarragon.
  • Spoon this mixture over the chicken breasts. Serve with roasted asparagus or steamed broccoli!
