Curried Chicken with Pears

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  
• 2 fresh pears, unpeeled, cored, cut into eights
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Directions

1. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken. Cook 5 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add the pears and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
3. Add the onion and remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the curry powder and flour. Add the broth and ketchup and bring to a boil.
5. Return the chicken and pears to the pan and coat with the sauce.
6. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Divide among plates.
